It’s dumb.

Your mistake is kind of like wondering how DLP in finite fields can be hard when logarithms are easy to compute for real numbers.

Your second mistake is to expect someone to explain all this to you. You need to read a book. You need to make an effort. Or accept that others have made the effort and trust them.
