Because people with this talent draw without difficulty, they draw a lot and continue drawing because they have results and have fun. I don't say it can't develop a little the more you draw, but I don't see significant changes on artists. Good artists were good from the start and "bad" artists were "bad" from the start.

I disagree. I've seen too many artists that draw and paint horribly become epic fantasy painters within years, and on the flip side I've seen many "good" artists unable to draw from the imagination after years of being "good". The difference is the type of studies they are doing. Certain type of studies can drastically improve your art, even if you aren't putting in as much time as someone who draws 12 hours a day. Of course it will go a lot faster when you combine the right studies and lots of drawing/painting time.

What do you think of someone like Noah Bradley? Look at his examples of his academic drawing- pretty decent. But his attempts at fantasy were pretty bad. After about 5 years or so of the right mixture of study, he drastically improved his work. You might not agree that he's at Frazetta level, but I think it's impressive.
