Nearly 1:10 people in the world are chronically hungry. Being hungry has no impact on their ability to eat. Likewise, those with access to food eat when not hungry and (believe it or not) may not eat when hungry.
I really think you’re missing the point, though. We have a host of signals in our body that can misfire due to various conditions and people cope with them. Hunger is no different and many of us have spent months ignoring it to our own benefit (and some to their own peril).
Caloric intake in excess of expense causes weight gain. What factors lead to that excess do not.
There are certainly those with a variety of issues that make caloric deficit difficult. Fortunately, that’s not most people.
