That's why: because the majority of folk doing WCS have fed from MJ - could be because they feel their MJ is stagnating, or they have seen folk doing it at a MJ venue and liked what they saw, or been recommended to try it by someone in an MJ venue. (or a million other reasons, but I think these are the main ones)
To a new from MJ person, WCS just looks about the same except with a bit more discipline on the slot: then they get told/shown lots of rules about counts, anchors and given moves that are similar, but called different things with subtle changes... I think perhaps the gap between this initial expectation and the reality is what makes it seem to be "too hard".
Dancing with social competence is a skill. Not a talent or ability that you're gifted with. ANYONE can learn to dance. The most cases where failure to learn is because the pupil either did not want to, or the information was not presented in a way that made sense to the pupil.
In some isolated cases, the failure to learn is due to some 'disability': like dyslexia makes reading hard ... I think that Dressage is the the skill for horses and dancing - if they can dance but not read, perhaps all horses have severe cases of dyslexia?
