Stay safe: only use a vanity address if you made the key yourself, on your own computer. A website or person that makes one for you can keep a copy of the key.
Why is it so hard?
An address is a random-looking code made from a secret key. You can't pick the address and work back to the key. So you try keys one by one. Each extra character makes it about 58 times harder for 1… and 3… addresses, and 32 times harder for bc1… ones.
Legacy and script addresses are big numbers written in base58, so not every start is equally likely. For example, "3" addresses can't have "z" as their second character, and each extra "1" at the start of a legacy address needs a zero byte (1 in 256). We count this exactly.
