For the same reasons that many people find learning mathematics so hard: it requires abstract thinking and the ability to layer abstractions on top of one another.
I think anyone can learn to code, or learn maths, but there's no doubt that some folks are MUCH better predisposed to it. That said, some good tips in the article.
