Fundamentally, the trouble with the Monty Hall problem isn't that analysis comes to the wrong answer, it's that people often come to the wrong model when reasoning about it informally.

It's not any harder to do the "correct" analysis than to write up a simulation. It's mostly just easier to convince yourself that the simulation matches the problem description when it reaches the unintuitive result.
