Everyone is bad at everything they haven't tried to do. You can be good at anything. I can't ride a bicycle but if I wanted, I could be good. Just gotta go and do it. Unfortunately doing things is work. Solving abstract problems is the main thing engineers do, if you're not doing that then you're not really engineering you're just copy pasting text.

This is the thing. I've been solving abstract problems for a living well over 20 years by now. Can I have some time off?

I know I can solve many leetcode problems (fizzbuzz? roman to arab numerals?) given some time, but I hate doing it.

As software developers, we constantly have to proof ourselves. At dailies, in leetcode.

This is fun when you are 25, much less so when you are 50.
