In most cases, it's because teachers can reuse much of their lesson plans year after year. A teacher's first year teaching a class is always the hardest.
The sudden push to online suddenly turned them all into first year teachers and added the complexity of relying on parents to help and learning new technologies in a very short period of time.

Elementary teachers have 3-5 lessons a day they have to put online. Lots of subjects and very little of it is transferred fast.
I teach 8th grade science-I am also a block schedule. So I only see the same kids every other day.
So I make a lesson-good for two days. I am also about a week and a half ahead making lessons/assessments.
If I am in school, I can pull the lessons out of my head without a lot of prep-except for lab work.
I can see why some are overwhelmed. Just a new way of doing things.
