If humanity is born sinless and has the ability to learn, why aren't there some who have remained in the state of sinless?

Same reason why some remain in a state of never having learned a single thing. It's part of their nature. Unless someone has no brain, is dead or born in a coma etc etc, they will go on and learn something because that is part of their nature

I mean, everyone seems to have the "ability" to learn sin, yet nobody has the "ability" to learn how to remain sinless? It just seems if we're born in a sinless state, we ought to be able to remain in that sinless state.

Having the Sin nature does not give anyone the ability to learn how to be sinless.

Having the Sin nature means a person has in innate property about being human that like learning or some other feature of being an adult, kicks in some somewhere in a person's life
