People have different thresholds and capabilities. IME even if they could grind through the learning curves most don't have the desire or logical reasoning skills to be even mediocre programmers. Keep in mind too that it's still culturally uncool, despite a few bubbles of nerd hype.
There is very low barrier to entry for being a developer. The only thing separating an unskilled individual and a developer is learning time.

Those are myths that developers use to gatekeep the software industry.
You don’t need a special mind to be a programmer, you just need to have a willingness to do this work. Which many people don’t.
