Pretty much every human can create, leaving out those with specific mental disabilities.
Many humans never get in a situation where there is an interesting enough problem for them to create a solution or where a need or benefit is seen for them to create to fill that need or derive that benefit.
For the humans that do most of them only do so once or incredibly maybe even twice, think people who essentially make one thing - like Italo Marchiony who created the ice cream cone and I don't think much else other than a business to exploit his creation.
The people who are thought of as creators are able to create quickly and a lot and often seemingly at will. This is essentially their primary skill and what sets them apart from others. Because of this skill they may even use it as the proverbial hammer looking for nails.

And yet new things sell really well. Which suggests that the need is there. By contrast creators look around and see need in everything.

Exactly. Now don't get me wrong, 99% of their creations are rubbish. 99% of their ideas are quickly discarded. Some would require more resources than they have available. But they are forever experimenting, learning, understanding. They can't help it.
sure but the fact that some farmer has a problem with how to sell his ugly carrots and as a consequence creates baby carrots argues that all humans, disregarding specific disabilities, can create, but just like some people are better at running, others better at dancing, some people are just really good at creating.

I've written some on my views on creativity - https://medium.com/p/1484652bcc97 - generally in relation to writing and criticism probably the most relevant article is this one "A Theory As To Why Art Is Created" https://medium.com/p/b0a2538416e3
