I think is a moot question, the real questions are: should anyone assume s(he) can't? no; should anyone feel bad because s(he) can't? no. Should everyone try, only if necessary or are interested in. Is there any way to predict if someone can or can't? I don't think so. So if anyone can become a developer, I think, is irrelevant.
To empirically test it is unfeasible and believe one of the other has no benefit, in my opinion, the only way to know is try. And after all as others commented even if anyone can doesn't mean they will make a good job, enjoy or make something with it.
And that is not even getting into the difficult stuff, does outdoorsy people can? even if they get depressed in from a screen too long? can someone how enjoy adrenaline and adventure?, can someone who love something other thing and feel miserable doing something else?, can someone who find really hard to focus for more than 1min in front of a screen?
