Don't fool yourself about what? That it's never too late to learn to program? I don't really understand the significance of who created the "ecosystem" I program in. What's an ecosystem, to you? Why does it matter who created it?
I don't get your point but it sounds vaguely insulting.
I find it explicitely insulting to claim 'programming isn't all that hard; anybody can do it'.
Its Pollyanna to say "you can be a programmer! Anybody can!" without explaining the layers of the onion. You can be a (passable) applications programmer with a little effort. The rest takes sweat and study, sometimes years of it.
