Being raised in fabulous wealth, established by your great-grandfather, without the social or emotional intelligence to manage the complex aristocrat-bureaucracy of Versailles. It's a wonder he managed to function at all, just enjoying all the decadence without realizing or appreciating the massive influence he held.

Louis XIV had a sharp mind to remember which courier was present at each event. This meant court events could be leveraged for favors by favored nobles like getting dressed or rising from bed or being the king's honorary errand boy for the day. Louis XV and Louis XVI mostly undid a lot of Louis XIV elaborate court rituals that gave him immense sway. Also Louis XVI was reportedly a glutton, since he had trouble with sex. So he was fat, spoiled, and too dumb to realize how to control his court.

He's remembered as indecisive and weak but really his problem was that he tried to do too much. The reforms to commerce in grain and to the tax system made when he was on the throne were at least as significant as those made after the Revolution or by Louis XIV. Even his failure to deal with the political implications of his attempts to reform even more were down to trying too hard to deal with the Third Estate in a decisive fashion not by deferring to it
