There are many born and raised Muslims who reject hadiths, myself being one of them. Yes, accepting hadiths is very natural if you blindly follow and refuse to find the authority of hadiths in the Quran. But once you start reading and start asking questions like:
1.) Who is Bukhari and gave him authority?
2.) If hadiths are divine, why are their fabricated ones?
3.) If hadiths are divine, why not folllow all of them?
4.) Why are there are hadiths that contradict the QuraN/
5.) Why are the hadiths that contradict the Quran, sometimes considered to have aborgated the Quran?
6.) Why would God leave men to sort out the weak and strong haidths?
7.) Where does the Quran establish hadiths?
8.) If the Quran was the only thing inspired to the Messenger, then why are there other books to follow?
Things become complicated and you realize that something is awfully wrong. Especially when people can only say that the Messenger does not speak from his own deisre.
