Anybody CAN learn how to program with many languages (BASIC is another one that comes to mind), but that doesn't mean you can learn to do it well.
I think that is a very important distinction.
We used to have this same sort of debate on the HC usenet group 20+ years ago. Here's what frequently happens, though: someone new comes to the community with an idea. They try to build it, have some early success making spaghetti, and soon it gets to be out of their league, and now we have someone's new idea, with the beginning of a project, and a desire to pay an export to finish it for them. I would rather all those folks who are trying to write an app come here, struggle, and either succeed or stumble than have their idea die in HTML5 soup, or just die because they can't even get started. Anyone can write a novel, too, by the way. That doesn't demean the knowledge of folks who are experts using it.
