Whats the catch? Investing in SPY and forgetting about it for X years

I want to invest for long term wealth, not short term money. I see everywhere that apparently, you can just invest in the S&P 500 and forget about your money and it will grow like crazy by the time you retire! But if that was the case, everyone would be doing it. I dont buy that its as simple as putting money in and leaving it.. Whats the catch?
