Understanding it and getting the factorial homework assignment done in school is one thing, but many people have productive careers without ever needing recursion, so they don't get practice at it, so when it comes up they avoid it. Some people can parallel park their car in their driving test, but they live somewhere where they never need to parallel park, so they avoid it when the possibility comes up.
