People say easy because they are tired, they maybe remember the early days when people wrote freeware that performed just one function, very clearly. Now programs can tend to follow the coat hanger and combined harmonica rule and that can be quite tiring.
I see your point, but something as simple as cutting a section of a video file should be quite easy to do, even with the most complicated software anyone can find.
But the complicated software or really most software is not efficient and too wide a church with too big a footprint and wants trialed subscription and your email and permission to know your location and what you watch on TV and what you meant by that thing you said on the phone to your brother and can you write a review and take a survey and it just weighs people down and they seek out the easy.
Thanks, I am not the OP, parts of ffmpeg are bundled with the k-lite codec pack which I have for media player classic but mainly I use avidemux for simple video cuts and encoding. Probably should have mentioned that earlier but I went off on a unhelpful side-rant.
We have no way to figure out what “easy” is for you.
KdenLive is free, is not “difficult”, and is what I would use.

I hope you saw the ffmpeg answer by Toes below. Annoyingly it has fewer upvotes so is lower down (at least for however my viewer works).
