You could be a brilliant potential scientist, but without funds or schooling that would never manifest. Nowadays, it's far easier for talent to actually develop, and as a result we have developed faster and faster.

Boruto simply has more access to resources. More time. Less pressure from the academy to pump out students. Higher standards of education. Naruto graduated on the clone jutsu, which was useless. Boruto was shown to learn Summoning, wall climbing, etc. Nashikeine wrote: he clearly had people teaching him in his early years, even if the manga and anime decides to not really want to point it out. Seems unlikely. But it seems much secrecy has been lifted, so worse-case scenario he could just look it up in the library.
