As far as I can tell, it is far from easy to start run a process from
inside the kernel.
I didn't say that it did. Starting a process from inside the kernel
is a bad idea;
much of our runtime depends on context that is only available from a
session,
and sessions are only associated with other processes.
The kernel makes it easy to run processes by providing handy hooks known
as system calls, which are called from userspace to start new processes.
