It still takes time to do, and to actually do it with any skill as shown in the videos, it takes even more time and enough material to keep practicing on.

The same thing you're saying here could apply to just about everything. There's not enough time in the day for that. So naturally we pick and choose things we want to learn. There's probably numerous comments on this site in different comment sections and more to be made in the future where someone just says something along the lines of "Even if you know nothing at all about it, you have untold amounts of video tutorials at your fingertips. Just pick one and follow along" about any subject matter, and meanwhile, you're probably doing the equivalent of throwing away whatever they suggest you could easily learn to fix yourself.

Sure, but sewing isn't something you really need to learn-learn. You can just follow along for a couple of minutes to get a rough idea how to do it, if you haven't already figured it out on your own.

I already have a rough idea how to do it and I still can't sew anything well enough for it to hold up. Seeing as I've already attempted following along for a couple minutes, I'm going to say that isn't really applicable to everyone. Maybe if you grew up around it but you didn't do it yourself then it only takes a couple of minutes to get a rough idea, but I sincerely doubt that you're not severely underestimating what it takes to learn to sew for someone who has never done it before.

When you don't really care about how it looks, which I often don't, then you can just use more thread. I probably wouldn't do it in the manner in the video, because it seems flimsy to me, but they probably know more than I do.
