[] Are WON'T BE ABLE TO and CAN'T generally interchangeable? Otherwise, what is the difference between the two phrases?

---
e.g. I WON'T BE ABLE TO[ CAN'T ] make it.
---

- I have noticed that "I won't be able to make it." is a polite expression meaning "I can't come" or "I'm not going to go" to an event, date, party, meeting, appointment, etc.

Thank you in advance!

in this sentence yeah, they can be used interchangeable.
But " won't be able to" means sth may not be done in the future by SB , no possibility of sth in the future
