Given the right teaching materials, it seems like almost anyone can learn programming. But the difficulty lies in motivation and discipline.

It’s like saying “I don’t understand why not everyone is fit, all you need is to eat less and go walk outside for free”.

I have taught a few people programming and almost everyone started picking up the basics and moving along well but some would just completely give up once no one was prodding them. This usually correlates with other things like health and general life situation. Some people just aren’t motivated to get up, go run, eat healthy, and learn a valuable skill.
