Are there studies that prove that everyone can master any skill if they try really hard? This doesn't match the anecdata I've experienced and seen [1].

Yes, if we decide that humans are only as worthy as their code. But we can also consider, even in the age of neoliberalism, that economic activity is a tool, not our purpose. Some are more productive than others, so we need to help each other out.
Conversely, if we assume that talent does not exist and everything is just a matter of trying really hard, then the conclusion is that poor (able-bodied) people are simply lazy and deserve their fate.
