You would be surprised how many people are unable to do that, who are physically capable of doing it.
At least where I live there's a cultural learned helplessness around sewing. "Nobody does it anymore so how am I supposed to have learned?" or "doesn't sewing something cost more than just buying a new garment?" (both I've personally heard people say)
For sure it's likely either a learned helplessness or a passive indifference. People like to give up before they even try.
