Exactly. To expand on what you said:

Learning to code is easy, just as learning to write English prose is easy - kids routinely do both of these things. However, learning to be a professional software developer or a commercially successful novelist or journalist is very different from learning to code or learning to write - for most people, it requires hard work, many years of experience and learning from lots of mistakes.

I would further refine this to, "Learning to code is like learning to write prose: Easy to learn, and easy to do, but not so easy to do well. Especially since 'well' is at least a little bit subjective." There are plenty of people who can write well, who are not commercially successful. And there are people who are commercially successful who do not write very well at all. Cough-DanBrown-Cough.
