Hell if you can hold a wrench in your hand you can change a head gasket. So in short yes its easy...it is however very time consuming.

unless the engine was put in a compartment too small... or made to 'fit', whereas 'repair' isn't a priority.
so while i agree with you that it should be very simple.. most of the time it's not. at all.
