Is there a simple way to understand Shopify?

Hi there are 2 problems with Shopify and any other E comm site. 1. the answers in the Help sections are writing by a developer or someone who use to work for the government in the help section. The Help section should be basic enough for a 12 year to work his or her way through it. Shopify is nothing more than a dressed up Wordpress and no place to go. A.I. is fast approaching and will eat Shoplifts lunch. Shopify maybe a “Bugatti Chiron:” But you need to shift 18 gears before you move it out of the driveway. Where is the 1. step, 2. step, 3. step …?? Shopify’s Help videos want to entertain you, on Youtube. More Videos with 1. step, 2. step, 3. step … would be a big help..
