I don't think it's about skill as such, rather about increased productivity.

People are generally expected to be able to drive, and for many, this ability comes with benefits. I don't see why basic programming (file system, lists, loops, conditionals) should be any harder, or less useful.




Driving is physical activity: you turn the wheel the car turns. You see it you feel it. Programming is all dealing with abstractions, and for many that is really hard.
