> Now I gotta learn linear algebra.
Linear algebra does seem to be a hard wall I've seen many smart software engineers hit. I'd honestly love for someone to study the phenomenon and figure out why this is.

So, I really agree that it's about timing and curriculum. For one, it appears somewhat abstract until you really understand geometrically what's happening.
So, I surmise that most non-mathematicians don't have quite the mathematical maturity to absorb the standard pedagogy when they first approach the subject.
Yes, but most people, like me, never gain even remotely intuitive understanding of it and quickly forget it after passing a few dreadful exams. Just like with most other math.
