I've never seen someone, thought to myself "what are they doing?", and only then realized that they were walking. We all do it about the same, and within a factor of two or so, almost all reasonably fit and healthy people seem to be comparably capable.
I get the impression that most people have a similar perspective on thinking given how often you hear people say things like "they must be bad, stupid, or terribly misinformed to think that", "I did it so what's their excuse", or "there's no way they did that given that I couldn't".
I assume that thinking is more like modes of transportation where for instance, one person might have a bike, and an other might have a delivery truck, and as a result, depending on traffic patterns and available time, an assigned task could be trivially easy or literally impossible depending on the available transportation.
And again like with transportation, most people seem to have roughly the same options available to them, assume that everyone else also has those options, and profoundly, fundamentally can't understand what it is to have any of the less common options that don't typically have human interest stories written about them.
