Did somebody show them this? Did they just naturally think to themselves, "I wonder how I could play this and it won't sound like the normal cowboy chord shapes, what would sound cool?" Are guitar players who do this a step above in innate talent, just some natural skillset that is inherently above the rest of us? I don't say this in jest, it's a real question."

They probably are gifted. Listen to the early Beatles. They did not really play their instruments well, but grew up musically in a hurry, especially George. None of them had a music degree. Paul still can’t read music. On the other hand, there are plenty of Carnegie Mellon music grads who are selling insurance.
I have known a few.
