...and completely missing the part where you have to go and start shooting a competition sport (literally any, I don't care if it's steel challenge, trap shooting, or USPSA) and become proficient.

I didn't miss that part, I have a well-informed and holistic picture of how lacking I am lol.

But I don't think you are gatekeeping to say that bad training can be actively restrictive. Even in general, someone might be better off understanding they are unskilled in a task, vs having learned that task inadequately or incorrectly and thinking, put me in coach, I'm ready to play!
