We (people) have a general problem where things seem simple when we understand them but they seem outrageously complex when we do not understand them.
We have evolved a variety of mechanisms to deal with the transition between complex and simple, and there's something fascinating about all stages of the process. Anyways, I would not knock yourself too hard for struggling with this kind of thought. Simply being willing to work through it, here, might have educational benefits for others, in the future. And, it will also help you understand some of the architectural struggles other people might be facing, when refactoring and/or working with stable interfaces.
