There are lots of reasons why some people don't think about "creating", maybe they had childhood issues or are too stressed, too mentally drained with other areas in life, never got nourished to love creativity or never had an inner self belief that they can create.

Or they simply got "stuck" in something, never to get out and find some passion. What even is creating, some people (unlike many programmers or scientists) create social groups, organisations, humor.

I think your idea that there are special "creators" and "regular people" is way off and honestly just a way to feel special and unique. I know people that finally found passion after they retired.. but they were too bogged down to ever figure it out earlier in life.
