I was incredibly disappointed with EOS because they didn't deliver what they had promised. As we all know, ETH is slow and expensive and EOS supposed to be fast and cheap. After all the hassle with setting wallet and staking CPU & RAM (which is a nightmare for onboarding new users), the network was congested with some stupid airdrop. And then the "split" happen with WAX, etc., thus I sold all my EOS and never look back. Nowadays, it's easier and comparatively cheap to use BSC.
I'm really annoyed about having to create an EOS wallet to hold my tokens and buy some EOS to activate the wallet. It is quite troublesome and time-consuming for new users like you said.
Its only a one-time work, after u done its process, u will benefit almost free-transaction for ur entire life on EOS network. If you want to make it easier, i suggest u to use Wombat on the Android, its allowed you to create wallet freely, u only need to pay when u want to copy the secret key and move to another wallet, wombat also provided u 10 times daily transaction.
