It seems so ordinary and simple, but it took early humans a long time to figure out the wheel from what I’ve heard and I can’t understand why.

In addition to what everyone else said, wheels are a hindrance in many natural uneven environments, noisy, and not easily verically portable e.g. if we want to get on trees. It’s really a simplified environment where the wheel shines, but even getting to that state required a bunch of innovation first.
