On a mobile phone it's super easy. Long press the hyphen button and swipe over to the dash.

On Mac it's pretty easy still, but requires a little more knowledge. Option-shift-dash. (Without the shift gives you an en dash.)

On Windows it's the completely arcane alt-0151, and only possible if you have a numpad. I memorised it like 15 years ago and have regularly used it since, but it's hard to blame people for not doing so.

No idea about Linux.

You could make it easier on windows with an on-screen keyboard probably

Well it depends on the keyboard layout, on Linux, at least—but on other platforms too, I think.
