I do know folks of shooting experience/ history that are mediocre at best w a 9mm and flat out suck w a .40 or .45.

Maybe thats the avg pistolero.

I dunno, but my time at a couple ranges would support such a view.

However, having grown up shooting handguns, I dont see a
45 acp as anything requiring effort to shoot well. Even w +P.

Do think some folks are just too sensitive and or lazy.

And I bet going to a 9mm doesnt help them as much as they think.

But confidence is not to be ignored. If they think a 9mm helps em and they do OK with it ( not great, just OK ), maybe thats good enough.
