Maybe. Or maybe there is just a certain fraction of people that are incapable of learning it. Like dyslexia, but for mathematical operations. I mean, it's not like we're not trying. Math is taught in every school at every age group and it's around us everywhere.
There is such a recognised condition with regard to arithmetic. Its called dyscalculia.
Those with it need appropriate teaching, but can end up pretty good at maths.

it is taught everywhere, but I think it is usually badly taught - more commonly badly taught than any other subject.
