Kids toy directions

Seriously, WTF with kids toys and assembly now?  Are they no longer put together in the factory?  I’ve started giving certain toys I’ve identified over the years to kids of people I don’t like just for kicks!  I once had to assemble a toy, listed ages 5-8, that partway through the directions casually mentioned “now you’ll begin putting together the hydraulic assembly”.  WHAT?  I’m having a hard time putting this thing together with my hands now stuck together with superglue.  And this is supposed to be ages 5-8?
