That’s a bad comparison, cooking has been done by people for thousands of years, your problem with cooking is laziness, there is nothing mentally or physically stopping your from learning to cook.

I do agree with your second paragraph and it’s more that you DON’T want to cook versus you being unable to cook.

This is pithy but won't. There's a clear difference between software (no evidence that everyone can do it capably) and cooking (thousands of years of nigh everyone from every background doing so). Laundering it as "thousands of man hours" doesn't change the fact that we've had less than a century of evidence for people coding, and for most of that only a small subsection of the population has picked it up.
