GnuCash is actually very modular (perhaps a little too much, there are parts of it that are modules and probably shouldn't be). I wouldn't say it's easy, nothing in programming GnuCash seems to be easy, but it's possible for a third party developer to create a payroll module for their jurisdiction and for users in that jurisdiction to add it to their GnuCash installations. But in 20 years no third party developer has ever expressed any interest in creating a GnuCash plugin.
