Why is making a tea set complicated

I think it’s this

You keep hearing how loose leaf tea tastes better than tea from a bag.
Not only that. It costs a lot less, too.
You want to make the switch. The problem: brewing loose tea seems way too complicated. Everyone you ask and every site you read gives different information. One says to steep the leaves in boiling water for two minutes, the other says to use 80° water for one. And all you want is a cup of tea.
