dante1024 is an unknown quantity at this point
Default disappearance of 'in'?

In the following sentence:

They have difficulty in making decisions, are troubled by ambiguity, and feel pressure from both groups.

What is the reason that the presence or absence of the preposition 'in' doesn't affect the meaning?

Thanks!
