1) Not everyone naturally has a wide vocal range. It depends on your background (e.g. how has your speaking technique been since you were a child) and biology. 2) You unfortunately cannot affect the biology part: your body is biologically what it is and that restricts how easy it is for you to do things.

Why is it so hard for singers to count octaves?

The problem is how singers count octaves is different from how everyone else counts them. An octave is a musical interval between two notes, so A3 to A4 is the interval of one octave. Most singers would count that as two octaves in order to brag to people who don’t know any better.
