Because 様（よう） will often appear in hiragana, it is important not to get it mixed up with よう, the auxiliary verb used to create the volitional form of verbs such as する.</section>

How does this differ from っこない？

Hey <a class="mention" href="/u/ggw1776">@ggw1776</a> !
The main difference is that ようがない has the nuance of ‘there is no ‘method’ or ‘manner’ to do (A)’, and っこない has the nuance of ‘it will be impossible to do (A)’. ようがない focuses on the method, while っこない simply states that something is impossible.
We hope that helps!
