What factors, according to Young-Earth Creationists, might inhibit the Holy Spirit from guiding a Christian to a literal interpretation of Genesis?

This question lies at the intersection of spirituality and exegesis. If we assume that the Holy Spirit guides Christians in understanding scripture and that Young-Earth Creationism is true, what prevents the Holy Spirit from leading all Christians to interpret the book of Genesis literally? If a Christian is deeply connected with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, akin to figures like the Apostle Paul or the Apostle John (which I'm envisioning here as role models), and if they diligently study the Scriptures, seeking the Holy Spirit's guidance, does this inevitably result in a literal interpretation of Genesis? In such a scenario, would rejecting a literal interpretation of Genesis indicate a lack of spirituality from a Young-Earth Creationist standpoint?
