They are trying so hard to make this easier for Alex

This is the shortened version of the whole quote. The whole quote states this is on the mental side of the game.
They/he didn't mention physical side. And I would argue that Mahomes is already better than Alex mentally once the ball is snapped. He sees things unfold in front of him that Alex doesn't once the play is under way.
Mahomes has made great strides in 4 months. I still think he starts this season after another month or two of film watching/game planning to see what the opponents defenses are setting up to do. Once Mahomes has the pre snap reads down, it is over.
