It's not that hard. See for instance https://www.coursera.org/lecture/machine-learning/collaborat... on how to get started

It's not hard to build something that gives you recommendations. It extremely difficult to build something that works well. For consumer companies I know only Spotify and TikTok that do it well, and Youtube that does it OK-ish.
I personally wouldn’t say that Spotify does it well. I don’t think I’ve ever gotten a good recommendation. And daily playlists are a mess.
