I think PF2e is every bit as easy to learn the basics as D&D 5e, there is just more depth to master passed the basics. PF2e's character creation also shines in making very unique and balanced PCs. People seem to confuse not being able to break the system as easy as the system lacking depth and that is not the case.
PF2e is also way easier to create balanced encounters for that anything else. And the math doesn't completely fall apart at level 10 like 5e.
And for getting new players into the game the PF2e beginner box is absolutely head and tails above the 5e starter set. Yes the PF2e set costs more but you would have to get the 5e beginner box and the 5e Essentials kit to even get close to the same content and even then the PF2e box has more.
