It’s not. On Apple platforms, you can type two hyphens in a row and let the default text replacement convert it; or you can hold down the hyphen and pick from hyphen, en dash, or em dash; or you can press Option-Shift-Hyphen. I think it’s about as easy on other platforms as well.

Don’t listen to them. The em dash is not some obscure punctuation nobody but AI uses.

Dude, I'm well aware it's real punctuation, but it is obscure and rarely used outside formal settings. I'm just explaining why the perception exists.
