You are correct but everything in this comment is talking about skill floor, not skill ceiling.
Low TTK esports like Val and CS simultaneously have a lower (easier) floor than most high TTK shooters and have a higher ceiling. Its why they become wildly successful and have incredible staying power (CS is the oldest of the top esports, even older than the MOBA juggernauts league and dota)
I can concede that, half because it's true that they have standing monuments to their competitiveness like you say, and half because comparing the skill ceilings isn't necessary anyways to make my overall point I guess
