Given a few hours & Google access, some people who've never written a line of code in their lives will be able to figure out how to solve FizzBuzz, and some will not. If you just *tell* them how to do it & they write the code, they've become a syntax-translator, not a programmer.

That's a tragic pedagogical - not neurological - problem. There are prerequisites to learning anything, and, in this case, nobody guessed the missing prerequisite or how to teach it. Perhaps it's never been taught explicitly, and nobody who's learned it knows how they did so.
Sure, that's as reasonable a take as any. I don't think we even have a very good understanding of what that skill is, much less how some people come to have it. I'm definitely not claiming ability is an innate/immutable thing, just that *currently* not everyone can learn to code

...and that fact can change irrevocably, at any moment, without warning, without neurosurgery, and at a profit, if some enterprising soul solves the pedagogical problem in question.
