Ha! Indeed.

Seriously, setting up a minimal Gnus that will work for mail
isn't difficult at all, and should offer no problems for
anyone who comes from/wants to be in the Emacs or just
generally the TUI/CLI world.

I think that Gnus should streamline its interface, and
increase the level of automation, in particular in moving
between buffers, so as for my personal experience, I put a lot
of IMO "unnecessary" work into that [1].

But just speaking broadly, it's just like with Emacs
in general. To start it, move point around and edit a source
file, that can be mastered in 24h, especially, again, to
a person who has the TUI/CLI computer personality.

If you OTOH want to master Lisp, understand all of Emacs,
configure it to your liking down to the tiniest detail, even
write additional stuff and so on - then yes, I agree, that
requires "a lot of time" :)
