I think that you are wrong.
Computers have no problem to see that Bg2 wins(they may need more than few
seconds but it does not say that the position is hard for computers.

I guess that old programs with no tablebases and no knowledge about the blind
bishop in endgames can fail but it does not prove that computers cannot solve
it.

1.Bg2 Qxf4 2.Bxb6 Kb8 3.Bc7+ Qxc7 4.Na6+ Kc8 5.Bh3+ is winning for white.
