That’s a poor analogy. Accountancy isn’t creative (in fact, creative accounting is frowned upon). Accountants don’t need to develop a taste for ‘good accounting’.

Coding is writing, and choosing what to write about, and picking language to use to write about it. It is an unending series of creative choices.

If someone has no exposure to the process of making those choices, they are not ready to code.
