They can't write because the education they have had from K - MBA hasn't required enough writing classes and these people haven't taken the time to practice. Like with programming, writing requires practice and learning the rules to be a better technician. I disagree that creativity is a big part of it. The most valuable college class I have ever taken was a technical writing class with an instructor armed with a wicked red marker. Interestingly, it was computer science and forestry (Montana) majors who were required to take it, not business people. A class like that takes care of the technical side (rules of grammer) of writing. Beyond that, you need lots of practice.
