Willpower is a meaningless and useless word in these contexts. If people lack willpower it's often very unclear how to get more of it, and those who appear externally to have a noticeably high level of willpower are essentially incapable of communicating why this is, or even truly relating to those sufferring from a lack of willpower.
Willpower can make one ignorant or dismissive of more repeatable, explicable strategies for altering behaviour, that are more explicit than "have more willpower". Equally, those who appear to do things through willpower will often have actually chanced upon certain strategies (whether observable or purely cognitive) that make changing behaviours, even deeply ingrained ones resulting from addiction, far easier than would be the case without these strategies - which may be subtle, unconscious, or just so natural to certain individuals that they are not even able to observe that anything is happening beyond exercise of willpower.
Actually, it's debatable if willpower even exists as anything but that, in all contexts - an umbrella term for multiple modes of cognition that we cannot easily understand, but which appear to have powerful utility - IMO. Either way though, nothing is ever all about willpower.
