I was enrolled to a piano course before I developed interest in music. And then classical guitar. While I knew the theories and excels in mandatory music classes at school, music didn't click at least until a decade later in which I realize my genre isn't popular. I've written some music to date, but it remains a secondary thing compared to other stuffs I'm more passionate about.
In contrast, my little brother was enrolled to drum after he developed interest, in jazz. He has the friends who are passionate with the same kind of music. He built several bands. Not only the music itself, he developed love for analogs, obsessed with building instruments and speakers.
I guess the timing of interest development relative to the push to the direction, and having the right people to reinforce your passion is imperative to the optimal development of "click" to music.
