EVERYBODY has an ability to draw/paint/sculpt to one degree or another. Everybody has that capability to a more or lesser degree and what you describe as talent is not some binary situation.
Discovering you have no talent is akin to giving up and people reading this misguided notion that people can't make art without god-given talent may just give up before they start.
I disagree with your notion that you have to have inbuilt talent to make art. Not everyone is going to become Ricasso or Rembrandt but that still not a reason not to enjoy art and for that art to be able to give pleasure to others.
There are very many amateur artists making work that I find more pleasing to the eye than some lauded famous works.
There is huge value in making art that the individual can enjoy making and others can enjoy viewing or experiencing without having the mental leaps or mental issues exhibited by Munch or Van Goch.
We can agree to disagree and you can continue to tell people they can't enjoy art and have success with art if they have no talent and I will encourage ANYONE to take up art and enjoy it knowing that many people who believed they are unable to draw/paint/sculpt can continue to have success with it on a personal and sometimes commercial and critical level.
