Why is boogie-woogie piano so hard?

It is based on a very structural repetitive patterned left hand. To play boogie woogie on a beginner level is actually very simple. To play at a professional advanced level is difficult in that you do need "chops" and stamina to pull it off effectively.

Sounds like a great question for someone a lot smarter than me, but I know I'm pretty much split right up the middle in right and left brain usage (which probably doesn't have much to do with the dilemma either)....as for me, I just wasn't going to let the dilemma get the best of me. A bit off topic but still a similar conundrum....I'm still trying to find "one" tune to play which has a counter melody but I find it very, very tough to play counter melody.
