I don't enjoy programming at home, either. The reason being that at work I don't have to maintain my tool chain alone, I get inspired by my co-workers and get tasks from the business that are actually challenging.
Not coding at home doesn't mean I am not passionate about coding. I constantly learn: Reading blogs, answering on Stackoverflow, watching videos, attending user groups, unconferences and conferences - most of it in my free time, on my own budget.
I can completely relate to anyone who separates work from private life. It's just part of the contract: I get paid for my time at work, and my task is coding, so I code during work time. When work ends, I am free to do what I like. If I don't like doing more coding, that's fine. That however does in no way tell anything about passion.
Can people improve that are not passionate about what they do? Yes. It'll probably take more time, and maybe they don't reach the top level - but this can even happen to the most passionate folks if they have the passion, but lack the skill.
