It is a lot for someone who hasn't flown a lot of glass in the past or had any experience. It's a rough transition for folks from steam gauges with regards to your scan. Legacy is a different story.
(4) Poor/non-existent CRM skills. I don't fly for PlaneSense but I bet it happens there too.

If you haven't flown in a structured crew environment before, using SOPs, callouts and such, you need to spend time practicing that stuff. For some, it comes naturally, and some wash out because of it.
