Resolve isn't software for beginners, and is completely unashamed of that fact. Its designed from the ground up for professionals who are using it on a daily basis and have entirely forgotten what its like to be new to the field of video editing, color grading, audio mixing, and whatever else people are using Resolve for.

As you say, that does mean the learning curve is pretty steep, but it's not as bad as some professional grade software. I was able to get to a point of being able to do some basic video editing/export with it in a few hours of watching YouTube videos and reading documentation. By no means am I an expert but I really appreciate that this is actually software designed to get out of your way and allow focusing on the task at hand without constant popups asking if I've tried some feature I don't have any interest in.
