"Programming is hard, especially for minds that are not well accustomed to breaking things into linear series of events."
Or maybe many people are just lazy? As for the linear events, can you cook? Can you give directions to the main station? I think most people serialize things all the time. Like, do you ever create a ToDo list for your day?
I can't imagine that it takes months to learn how to load some images into Excel. Unless you have to learn how to read first. And Excel could be one of the hardest things to program...
"But please do recognize that programming is not intuitive for everyone!"
That's just the thing. Programming is hard even for programmers (hard not as in impossible, but hard as in "lifting 100 pounds of the ground" or whatever - it is work). But they are diligent enough to solve the problems.
It really irks me when (for example) business types say they are not made for programming. In fact I don't really enjoy programming either. I enjoy making things, and programming is just the necessary evil I have to put up with.
This logic of "xyz is not intuitive for me" is just an excuse to never even try to cope with maths or whatever.
