No, what no one realizes is that the game decides how good you play. It's about player retention. I too have had issues with controlling recoil / aim and just missing easy shots in general when I've spent countless hours trying to perfect it. And even when I did I sometimes went back to feeling like I had to learn it all over again. Everyone has "off" days, but the way this happens here is rediculous. There is a reason why many people feel like the aim in Apex is "off". That's because it's being done deliberately.
If you've ever played guitar you'll know what I mean. You can learn to play a song and eventually you can play it with your eyes closed, perfectly, every time. This should be no different. Sometimes it felt like my aim was pushed off of target deliberately, like I had to fight the recoil just a little bit harder than usual. The in game sensitivity settings can be altered by the game at any time it sees fit, making you over / under shoot your target to give you an advantage or disadvantage, making your aim / gameplay better / worse. This leads to more gameplay as you'll try to improve to compensate for what you think is bad aim. Or more gameplay due to you thinking you've actually improved.
There is a video explaining the whole thing in detail and I think this deserves a lot more attention from the gaming community in general.
