I'll bite, I think this is mostly bias. Strong evidence against this is that the average IQ of a mathematics undergraduate is, like, 125 or so, compared to ~115 for the average college graduate - that is just way too sizeable a difference to be explained by chance.
Math really does seem just plain hard for a great many people. It seems to me from having done some math on the inside like it also would get harder with each point downward in IQ than at a faster rate than most other valuable things in life.
