Why is piloting a helicopter considered more challenging, despite not requiring much space to take off and land and being able to stabilize in the air and stand still?

A helicopter does not stabilize in air, a plane will keep its speed to the right, if tilted to the right, a helicopter will accelerate to the right, and potentially tilt more.
A heli is hard to pilot, but an airliner also is.
There are systems for easing the work of the pilot, but it’s not easy.
