Why is the argumentative essay the most difficult?

Many times I hear that the most difficult thing to write is an argumentative essay. I don't fully understand why. There are a lot of opinions on the internet and very often different ones. Please share your opinion.

Hi @isabelwsaunders , what is the nature of your inquiry? Are you asking whether the argumentative essay is the most difficult kind of essay to write as a broad and generalized question like is the Scorpion pepper the hottest pepper on a Scoville scale?

Or you asking whether an argumentative essay is the most difficult to write in the context of applying to college like in the form of the Common App Essay?

Since this Blog is a Q & A on College Admissions, it would be helpful to understand why you ask this.
