Does challenging terrain actually make you a better pilot? (Flatlands vs. Mountains)

I've been thinking about how much a pilot's training environment shapes their actual skill level.

Does flying in areas with heavy mountainous terrain, crazy unpredictable weather, and high density altitudes inherently make someone a sharper, "better" pilot compared to someone who did all their training in the flat, open spaces of the US midwest?

Obviously, US airspace and ATC are complex, but purely from a stick-and-rudder, decision-making standpoint, does a tough environment build superior pilots, or does excellent training level the playing field regardless of the geography?

first e-175 landing in a while

Any tips on the landing is appreciated [Would this be an acceptable landing to real life standard]? Decided to take out the fss e-jets again for the first time in a while, here's my landing. This was into Nashville KBNA. Winds we're 22008G22 so it just wanted to get it down, those microsoft winds are strong though lol.
