What I mean is that nuclear technology is more than 60 years old now, and I guess there is a pretty good understanding of how to build nuclear weapons, and how to make ballistic missiles. So what exactly stops countries from secretly developing them in remote facilities?

Besides the reasons already explained by other users here, there is another matter, the “why” a country wants nuclear weapons.
Nowadays the main reason to have one is to let other nations think twice before starting a move against the country, but for it to work the other countries must know that you have it, so … keep it a secret would be meaningless and even if a country somehow makes it successfully, as soon as you announce it, big economic blockades would be imposed against you.
