the point is that you have to want to in the first place. This is kind of like looking at “the flame” or some other modern art and saying “yeah that’s easy, I could have done that.” It’s missing the point entirely.
People are looking at something and not realizing how trivial it is. It's a sham. It's like the mother who secretly had her kid paint random shit then she started secretly selling the blobs of paint as modern art and showing that the entire industry was just empty snobbery. True story.
Personally, I've looked at the divide and stepped over it and did it. My "designs" are on par with someone with "design" training.
In fact my skills are often superior as i can produce graphics beyond what they use in flat design.
