Why would you think it was a genetic thing? Most likely, we're just not used to watching subs due to their comparative rarity in mainstream media, and so it's difficult for some people to get used to.

(I don't actually have any difficulty with subs myself (I actually prefer them because for some reason I sometimes have a hard time following spoken dialogue), but I can see how someone who's not used to watching them would have a hard time.)

Yeah, I think it's this. Subtitled foreign language media isn't very prevalent in primarily-English-speaking countries, and since English is so widely-spoken it's the most common language for dubs. Most native English speakers just aren't used to watching subtitled media, and it does take some time to train yourself to balance your attention between watching the action and reading the subtitles. Once you get used to it it's no big deal, but that period where you're getting used to it is clunky.

Yes, this. I thing "cultural" would be a more valid explanation.
