I read that people with dyslexia are as smart as other people and that dyslexia is a genetic problem. I just wonder, if people are capable of launching rockets or creating art masterpieces, why can’t dyslexic people learn how to read and write? Isn’t it just like any other thing you can learn e.g. math?

Dyslexia exists in all languages, but to varying degrees. The reasons for this are complex—but to your point, some languages have higher rates of dyslexia associated with them due to how those languages are written with certain symbols.
To simplify, the letter “O” isn’t something anyone would struggle with because it’s the same no matter the visual orientation. The letters “u” and “n” or “d” and “b” are not, and are instead easily confused in how the brain processes them visually and spatially. If a language has a lot of those kinds of letters, it tends to also have higher rates of dyslexia. This resource might be helpful:
