easy path
Path of least resistance
The easy path is a course of action requiring less effort, risk, or discomfort than alternatives.
It often carries a faintly negative connotation—suggesting avoidance of necessary challenge: Taking the easy path now will only create bigger problems later.
But context matters; sometimes the easy path is simply the sensible one: Why make things harder than they need to be?
