I'm sure most people can learn the syntax of a programming language - it is not very hard. It's certainly easier than learning a spoken language.
But Software Development is not about being able to write in some language. It is about problem solving, good design, constantly learning new patterns, sdks and languages; and shedding old anti-patterns. Not everyone has the desire to take it to that level and stay current. Unless you have that desire, you will not make it as a software developer.
Whether some can do something and whether someone has the will to do something are very different things.
