I imagine that many years ago, it was very difficult for people to be able to shoot photos of landscapes. And the same goes for shooting portraits. But lots of tools have made it easier. Landscape photography became technically easier with tools like compositional lines, dynamic range editing, color editing, etc. Similarly, portrait photography became so much simpler to do with face and eye detection. After the tools became available, you needed to just rely on your own creativity and imagination. Yet still, so many photographers just let the cameras do the work for them. And these days, bird photography has become the same thing.
