This is called “stereo blindness” and it is quite common: about 7% of people under 60. Multiple distinct mechanisms can cause stereo blindness.

The prevalence and diagnosis of 'stereoblindness' in adults less than 60 years of age: a best evidence synthesis - PubMed
We identify four different approaches that all converge toward a prevalence of stereoblindness of 7% (median approach: 7%; unambiguous-stereoblindness-criteria approach: 7%; visual-defect-included approach: 7%; multiple-criteria approach: 7%). We note that these estimates were derived considering ad …
