Saying “I'm having trouble understanding” is not the same thing as “this is trivial”.

"I'm having trouble understanding why this is so complicated" could be interpreted in a non-dismissive way but it defaults to dismissive. And when it comes with a supposed solution attached, and that solution is really simple, that reinforces it sounding dismissive.
