I suspect that many modellers would agree with you on that, but I find it to be a relaxing part of the hobby, which requires little effort or skill, other than perhaps some patience. The change from bare track on roadbed or plywood, turns the toy-like scene into a preview of what the modeller has in mind.
I have always thought that the process of painting rails (and sometimes ties, too), along with ballasting, are the two best bangs-for-your-buck that you will ever get out of model railroading.
