How is "benefit" defined? I think most people who try therapy find it neutral or a waste of time and quit after a very few sessions. I think it is more the minority who benefit from therapy. I have seen quite a few people who raved about therapy and their therapist yet their main real life problems have not improved a bit even after years of going.

I definitely consider myself as someone with those "talents" (and pretty much everyone who knows me think the same), although not really an emotional way, which may be in part why therapy is not really my medium. I did not find therapy useful really - one reason exactly because I already do those things by default all the time, it is very much my nature - therapy was extremely shallow in comparison. It also did not teach me anything I could not learn from everyday life, observation, relationships, the psych literature, trial and error etc. I routinely have a million times better and deeper conversations with friends and colleagues than I ever had with Ts. For free, and without the structure and unnatural limitations. Normal social connections are definitely beneficial for me.

I would agree with the statement that some people benefit from therapy, however it is defined. Most, absolutely not. I would say certain kinds of people with certain types of issues/personalities can benefit more than others. It is extremely hit and miss IMO.
