IMHO, the problem might more closely be approximated by saying it is the difficulty of keeping a large enough Plasma suitably confined for long enough to enable it to be useful. A tiny plasma in a test tube isn't going to generate much electricity, no matter how exemplarily well behaved it may be.
As every good engineer knows, many things work well in a pilot plant that fail miserably on scale-up. There are some sheep and cattle ranchers around Los Alamos that are aware of this with regard to plasmas.
