I think it's pretty common? Maybe not if you're very literal, but "I can't do X" is used as a synonym for "Doing X is unreasonably difficult or involves costs I'm unwilling to pay" is used quite often IMO.

Example: saying you can't get fresh strawberries for your cake probably doesn't mean there is no earthly way you could possibly get fresh strawberries anywhere on the planet. It means there are no fresh strawberries sold where you are, or maybe there are but they're ridiculously expensive, or you'd have to drive a very long way to get them. Unreasonable, not impossible.

But we're getting very off-topic here.
