>Taking care of kids is not that hard or much of a sacrifice really.
It's a pretty big sacrifice for a woman to even get one up and running, including the risks, pain, and effort of pregnancy, birth, breastfeeding, and rearing (sleepless nights). While working.
And 2 parents handling 2 babies/toddlers without help is pretty intense for at least 5 years or so, both are basically on call. It's not like previous generations where there's a chain of older siblings/cousins/etc that can give you a break (that is apparently the role of Youtube these days).
>It would be super easy if things were even more communal.
Probably, but that isn't reality for many people, especially with economic opportunities and growth getting more and more agglomerated.
>I think a lot of people would prefer to have more than 2 kids.
All the data I have seen indicates that this is a minority opinion among women. All across the globe, all across cultures, all across socioeconomic classes, 2 is where most women stop, especially if they get a boy and a girl.
