It’s unclear who can use the Force in the original trilogy. It definitely appears like it’s only certain people, because Luke can be a Jedi since his father was (in the original Star Wars.) Then in ROTJ he talks about the Force being strong in his family, which indicates it can be less strong for other people.
Also keep in mind that we do know that the Force requires training and building up over time. Yoda establishes the principle of do or do not and the power of belief, but he also gives Luke training at the same time. He doesn’t just sit him down in the hut and make him try to believe really hard. As of ESB, Luke can just barely move his lightsaber out of the ice or levitate rocks, because he’s had limited training.
You could make the case that sometimes you’re able to go above and beyond with less training when the circumstances are right, like Luke making the shot on the Death Star. But somehow that feels different from Sabine doing a premeditated force lift thing.
