You'd think so, but having taken apart a couple of bicycles I gotta say it's far more complicated than say taking apart a PC. There are so many seemingly pointless steps involved like removing C clips that don't belong and solving some topological problems to get the chain out. Notice how the chain and the triangle frame are interlinked.

I have no idea how these victorian steam punk contraptions are assembled and sold at a <$100 price point

Are you maybe thinking about cranksets? All it takes to remove a pedal from the crank is an adjustable spanner.
