The ways ghouls "work" have changed over the course of the Fallout series, and this is probably one the least drastic things they've done.
The Fallout show takes place after all the games, so I don't think it's that far fetched to believe that someone either eventually developed a new drug or maybe discovered a side effect of an existing one to help stave off the feral condition

Their is a theory that it is rad-x, slowing down the effects of radiation in their brain. You are right in that there is no specific thing in how they work and feralism can happen at anytime. Maybe it could also be that once the drug is taken you have to be on it constantly or the withdraws can make you feral. I am now no longer against it and excited to see where it goes.
Yeah, it's definitely something they could explain, but the show presents it as just a natural fact of ghouls.
And Cooper himself has presumably been one for two hundred years.
And I don't buy the Rad-X/Radaway theory because Maximus' squire friend gets turned into a ghoul by taking the drug.
