Why Is Bleeding A Clutch A PITA?

Why Is Bleeding A Clutch A PITA? I just have a simple question, (not trying to start a war or get flammed for this). My question is, why does everyone seem to have such a hard time bleeding their clutch? Why does anyone even bother to actually try and open the bleed on the slave? The reason I say this is because I read countless amounts of threads about folks having a hard time or saying how much of a PITA it is to bleed their clutch system. I've bled my clutch twice, once when I put my LS7 clutch in and once when I put in my adjustable master cylinder. Both times all I had to do was just take off the resivoir cap and just pump the pedal. By the 10th pump I could feel the slave moving the pressure plate. Both time I pump the pedal about 30 times to fully bleed the system and havent had a problem since. Now to me that doesnt sound like a PITA at all.
On the other hand, I can see having a remote bleeder to make easy to flush out your hydraulics from time to time.

Some people want the clutch to bleed itself and be done with it. LOL. I have also never had a problem bleeding anything hydraulic but maybe I have just been lucky. Lets see a fluid can't be compressed so if the pedal is still soft bleed some more its really simple.
