Reasoning is a little bit more than just "baked in" chain of thought prompting. The important takeaway here was that it is not realized at the architecture level of the neural network. And you could say that all these things regarding LLMs were pretty straightforward. But only in hindsight, otherwise there wouldn't have been so much time and effort spent on intermediaries. Breakthroughs mean people simply didn't know stuff before, even if it seems easy with the benefit of hindsight.
