My take is: because even for throwing spaghetti code you need a little more brain than average. I guess not much more, but I'd say a little more.

It also requires access to a computer, which severely underprivileged are unlikely to have. Look at how many arts students fail the compulsorily "Intro to programming" courses that a few unis spring on them. I bet that's because (in part) they lack the logic-problem-solving (i.e. IQ) skills to cope with it. I'd say that programmers in general have a higher general intelligence, and a much higher IQ, than the population in general.
