Exactly, there's tons of dudes who hop on gear and think it's instantly gonna solve all their problems. However, they never optimized their training or reached their natural potential in the first place. They either end up spinning their wheels, burning out and growing man boobs or gaining a little and thinking they're Superman (and probably growing man boobs too).

You actually see it spread even broader - people thinking they can cheese the hard grind. If i get this equipment i can run longer / ride faster / play better and now we're at the point where people think feeding gibberish into a plageurism machine means they can now Art without effort.

Nope. Stuff can help and it can elevate, sure...but there's gotta be the skill underneath. And you need to work for that.
