> anyone could do it by just putting in the work, it's not surprising that people might interpret that as implying that people who don't have the same knowledge are either too lazy to put in the effort or not capable of it

Not spending time on something doesn't mean you're lazy or stupid, that seems like your own leap. If you choose to interpret in a charitable way it just says: "if you haven't looked here don't worry, it's not that hard, you'll just need to spend some time".

I haven't looked under many rocks I've walked by, talked to everyone, read every book I encountered, doesn't mean I'm stupid or lazy, I just haven't done it.

My point is that if your goal is to teach people, you should care about framing things in a way that's conducive to the people who you want to teach. Dismissing fairly common insecurities because you don't happen to have them will significantly reduce your effectiveness at teaching, and if you don't find it worth the time to take into account feedback about how to craft your messaging more effectively, I'd argue that your priority never really was teaching in the first place.
