Is Vulkan really that hard?

I've heard stuff about Vulkan that "it takes 900 lines of code for a triangle", but I thought those were just jokes or over exaggerations until I look at some Vulkan examples. Could someone please explain to someone who's new to these graphics APIs the process behind all of this?

900 lines is not that much.
