Toast has to be the easiest food in the world to cook.  How could you get it wrong?

And yet, I'm absolutely certain you've had some pretty ropey toast in your time, usually prepared by others but sometimes by yourself (master-chef).

In fact, I'd go so far as to say that you have rarely received really good toast at breakfast in a hotel (where they normally show the bread a mild heat on one side for a few seconds before plopping it in a rack).  And I'm sure your friends end up burning it or leaving it for too long before it's buttered. Yes, everyone's an expert in the art of the perfect time to butter.

So how can people get the simple stuff so wrong!

Because it's simple but not easy.  If it was easy then everyone would have perfect toast every time.

Guess what else is simple but not easy?
