I think its a matter of motivation. They’re not sufficiently motivated to push through the boredom or frustration they feel at the start. That’s ok, most people don’t beed to learn it, but as I say in another comment here, I do believe that most people can learn if they have a problem that they could solve with programming that the want to solve badly enough.

Most people don’t care enough though and life’s too short to spend on something when other things are more important to you.
