Why can’t it just be all assisted and allow for much easier operation?

If by assisted you mean the driver would need less force to press the brake pedal, then you have to remember that when an f1 car is braking from 200mph ish it can get upwards of 5G in deceleration, that pushes the driver and thus his legs onto the brake which makes the whole thing a little bit easier.
Also F1 used to have different sorts of driver assists like traction control and stability control which are now banned because the sport wants the drivers to be more of a factor in the racing.
