I think there is a significant difference in two skill affinities at play here. Vocabulary and spatial visualization are both important to solidifying geometry skills but some people just tend to have a lot of difficulty projecting 3-dimensional shapes in their minds, whether or not the words to describe the concepts are in their lexicon.
I personally feel like my Nintendo 64 helped me form the wild geometry and visualisation skills that I have. There's some studies that show a strong correlation. I can visualize a running petrol engine in my mind, create structures and understand the engineering/physics of it's supports. I don't do it for a living anymore, but I'm really good at building things without a blueprint. ADHD probably helps with this too.
