The fact that we are Muslims is a very big blessing; a beautiful gift. We don't take a look at how easy our path is to Jannah. Since we are born Muslims, of course we live in an Islamic household, with Muslims, and eat halal food, read the Qur'an and are constantly reminded of the hereafter. We grew up learning how to read Arabic, how to pray, how to fast, etc.
But imagine if we were not born Muslim. We would have no Islamic influence, no guidance, and it would be hard for us to become a Muslim if our family were non-Muslims. However, for born Muslims, this is not the case. When disbelievers become Muslims, it's a big test for them. They are constantly surrounded by disbelievers, haram, shirk, falsehood; the door to sins is open for them. They are encouraged to do evil and indulge in wrongdoing. Alhamdullilah, we are already guided and are encouraged to do good.
So, we Muslims should thank Allah (swt) for this amazing gift: being born Muslims.
However sadly some born Muslims become worse than disbelievers, it's really sad because they're in the path of guidance however choose to be misguided.

الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي هَدَانَا لِهَذَا وَمَا كُنَّا لِنَهْتَدِيَ لَوْلا أَنْ هَدَانَا اللَّهُ
“All the praises and thanks be to Allah, Who has guided us to this, and never could we have found guidance, were it not that Allah had guided us!”
