Electric is not easy.
Im not saying they are fool proof but they are indeed much easier to make than a piston motor and all the attachments for it. The only reason we can produce piston motors so well and cheaply is because they have been around forever and everyone builds them. A brushless motor has 1 moving part, no reciprocating assembly, and 2 bearings, and batteries have no moving parts at all. Besides that anything can break regardless of what it is so i dont even know what your point is really
