Only because, Rarity - a unicorn, is talking about it. It actually makes perfec sense, that the advantages that all four types of ponies have (magic, flight, strength, and... I guess all three for Alicorns?) will always be present, but need to be relearned once they're old enough to understand them.

Scoot is perfectly capable of flying - she just has to learn it, she's already begun hovering. I think that (with or without what Baby Cakes implied) things like flight and magic take different times to learn, depending on the pony for whatever reason - the same way the things we do take different times to learn, for different reasons depending on the person. Fluttershy was shown to be a lousy flyer in flashbacks, and she may have even been older than what Scootaloo is supposed to be (it's difficult to tell because of her size), but she still flew eventually.

We don't know exactly what the CMC's cutie marks will be, but most of us have guessed based on what we have seen them do (The Show Stoppers alone contains several hints) I think Scootaloo's is choreography - she is skilled with riding, is implied in The Show Stoppers that she should have been incharge of the dancing. Basically anything that involves "being good with her moves" is her talent. So not only does that prove she will learn to fly, she will be awesome at it - there's already a team of peagsis who make a living on flying like that.
