Why is learning piano so difficult?

Truth be told, it doesn't have to be.

I am a self taught pianist and am aware of how frustrating it can be to learn piano given ridiculous teaching methods. I don't know what I would have done if I had to learn nothing but scales and scales and scales over and over. Some methods are just to hard to understand and some are just plain boring. Given my experience I plan to compile some of the best and easiest concepts together to help anyone learn to play the piano as soon as possible using the most basic method, chords.
