The reason why their misunderstanding wasn't easy to clear up with a short chat.

Because Darcy didn't know Elizabeth at the start of the novel. Her family doesn't impress him because several members are very loose-lipped with bad manners. So of course he isn't going to take her aside and say, "Hey, I know you think I'm a mean poopyhead, but I'm mad at Wickham because he groomed my 15 year old sister to gain her fortune and revenge himself upon me, and it came very close to ruining her reputation and her whole life. Wickham's a sexual predator, bruh!"

To protect Georgiana, he'd keep what Wickham did secret, if possible.

Not to mention, "comedy of manners" is a whole genre called that because of the importance of manners and what is proper to say to whom and when if you don't want to ruin your social standing forever. And that made a lot of what we would call "easy conversations" not easy to even think about having.
