Encryption is really really hard, and avoiding some form of sidechannel attack is much much harder.

Sure key exchange also isn't trivial, but I would say that key exchange is significantly easier. Care to elaborate?

Encryption is trivial. Getting a reliable keystream is not.

It all depends on the framing 😁
