(BTW, from the beginning I want to say sorry, I’m just a teenager, and I don’t want to mock, or offend anyone with this post, I’m sorry if this post was a little bit aggresive, and i’m also sorry that I didn’t do research before posting this post, I respect architects, and I find architecture to be interesting)
So, first of all, architects study many years, and they study things like math, and science, and architecture is considered to be an art by many people, So, what kind of creativity, and knowledge of sciences does building a rectangle(cube) need?
Like, how, architecture can be related to creativity, and now i’m not talking about rectangles, and cubes, i’m talking about building that are usually considered to be an art, like creating a crappy sketch of a strange curvy thing, or round thing, or big thing, or maybe thing with a lot of cubes is considered to be creative, and architects aren’t engineering who will blow their minds out to comprehend how to build that thing, and as i know architects have nothing to do with things like colors, plumbing, air systems, electricity systems, ceiling design, furniture, materials, and etc of a building.
Like they don’t go there and say “this room will be blue, this room will be red, and that room will be yellow, electricity system will be like that, air system will be like that, sofas, and chair will be like that, doors, and stair will be like that, colors will be like that, chandeliers will be like that, toilets, and tiles will be like that, carpets, and curtains will be like that” and etc, they don’t do it(as i know, or is it the opposite, and architect is the one who does all of that?)
and so if everything thing is like that, then why do architects study so many years, and they study things like math, and science, and architecture is considered to be a creative thing(art) and is considered to be very hard? (thanks, for reading my post)

You have a false assumption that is causing this. They ARE the ones “who will blow their minds out to comprehend how to build that thing”.
They do need to be able to design the structure such that it will support itself, allow appropriate routing for all of the support systems you listed, they are often significantly involved in the interior design especially of high-aesthetic spaces like lobby, courtyards and entryways. Sometimes much more. And that doesn’t even touch on needing to ensure all of these things not only work on paper but also handle local building codes, natural risks like wind or earthquakes, etc…
It’s a very interdisciplinary field, which is where much of complexity comes from. It takes whole teams of them working under a lead and with other disciplines to do all of this.
Now, if you just get a coffee table book or scroll pictures yes you tend to see a lot of concept drawings but that’s because they’re the most consumable by the general public and generally the prettiest at a glance. Doesn’t mean it’s all they do.
