I HAVE heard that people find composting too complicated or challenging to even bother with.
I think you're a natural composter. All things in balance.
When someone reads the wrong articles and thinks it has to be complicated, I suggest that they "postpone composting" until they feel comfortable with the idea. But in the meanwhile, they can save up leaves and paper and kitchen waste so they will have plenty of ingredients ready when they decide to compost.
Of course it best to save them outdoors.
A big heap is a convenient way to save those things.
The only problem is that it may all turn to compost before they're "ready" to start "composting".
