I imagine it's kinda like people who can't make a tube shape with their tongues. Some can do it. Some can "potentially" do it and just don't know how, others are missing the necessary neurogical wiring to do it at all, despite having all the correct hardware. The absolute inability to "tube" the tongue is hereditary. Similarly, it's easy to imagine there are some who simply cannot do the falsetto trick with their larynges due to nature.
Also, there is such a thing as a "window of opportunity" for learning. If one doesn't learn to speak any languages by adulthood, it is very unlikely that person will ever be able to speak without some noticeable ticks. It's not just about the person not trying hard enough. The adult brain just can't learn things the way a child's can.
I'd bet boys who never used their head voices in childhood are more likely not to be able to learn falsetto singing as adults. Most of the top countertenors in the world were very good boy trebles, some professional level (i.e. Bejun Mehta, Max Cencic).
