He doesn't really explain why he thinks that sentence could be true, but on the face of it it's almost absurd. Not just because programming is difficult, but simply because most people don't have the ability to do all the easy things. I'm hopeless with most tools; I can figure out the easy stuff because it is, well, easy, but I would need to learn on the spot, so I don't have that ability now. The same is true for an almost infinite number of other easy things. Most people can't even cook. Even if programming were easy, why would people chose to be able to program instead of other abilities if they don't have to.
