For example, I am terrible at Super Meat Boy, but just playing it has really improved how I play platformers and games that need faster imputs overall.

Multiplayer games taught me that I generally dislike other people.

I've been on a decade long hiatus from multiplayer aspect of games - aside from games I was with people I knew in RL.

I only occasionally get a twinge for the comraderie of some epic raid in an MMO, or tight unspoken squad tactics where everyone just does their job as expected (not necessarily well lol) and came out on top.

But really, I don't have the time to commit to either of those.

Then I hear about my friend in GW2 (RL friend) who is going through some toxic guild BS and I don't miss it.

I tried DOTA once. Once was enough.

I can play on my own time, and I can play with friends, but god help me I HATE playing on the server's time. I can kinda do it with Pokemon Go, but that's one you can play as casually or as hardcore as you like since you're mostly playing for yourself after a point.
