Does the fact that your genes and environment heavily if not completely determine who you are and your capabilities ever bother you?
You will never be able to accomplish tasks that others can simply because they got lucky genetically.
When i find myself struggling to do things i know others can do better than me with minimal effort because of their genes i stop bothering.
How have you learned to deal with these facts?
I forget about it but it always creeps back when i try to learn a skill.

"There are some things that are in one's control, and there are some that are not." - epictetus, nearly 2000 years ago.
Why concern yourself needlessly with what is beyond your control? Why not focus on yourself and do the best that YOU can. Sure, maybe someone else will be better at something or more able based on genetics, but is that a reason you shouldnt try to excel as best you're able?

I don't think takiing into acount the consequences of the differences in genes that results in individuals having different capabilities is a boogeyman

yes.
would you advise a 4 ft man to try his hardest to become better at basketball if he wants to become a pro nba player?

There is no such thing as free will, everything is determined. You knowing this or not doesn't change anything. Even if you believe free will is an illusion, you will continue on.
We are just automatons.
