Yeah you're right, but I'd never be able to properly make a kobe steak at home so I'd rather go out. Chicken and most fish is hard to mess up so I keep that at home.

Most "Kobe steak" sold outside of Japan is a scam. It's extremely likely you aren't getting the real thing and before 2013 all "Kobe beef" sold in the US was a scam.

(I think steak is easier to cook than chicken)

Really, this recipe[0] takes <15 minutes and tastes better than any steak I've ever had in a restaurant. I use butter instead of oil. All you need is a cast iron skillet.

You don't even need cast iron, I use stainless steel just fine.
