Short-cuts often cheat other people by not having the understanding what they are doing in a system.

Short-cuts can cheat yourself too by avoiding work that is healthy / good exercise or housekeeping.

Imagine always taking a taxi and in many ways that being a minus.

Imagine needing fuel to pump water, and that being a bad trade-off / externalising energy problems / over-use of petrol etc

Overall making it unsafe for when oil or machine is missing or can't. A well, a bicycle or something smaller can do well so it's not always so easy / over-burning energy.

Generally assuming big machines will always be there instead of using more what we have as hands and legs (not all machines working for example).
