For example, I am terrible at Super Meat Boy, but just playing it has really improved how I play platformers and games that need faster imputs overall.

Mass Effect made me far better at multitasking and not letting myself get tunnel vision on an objective.

Sure I'd played Gears of War, or RTS's that used the traditional rock, paper, scissors method of unit dominance, and resource management.

I'd just never played a third person shooter that expected me to combine all of those skills into a single gameplay loop which required constant shifting from power/defense based problem solving to accurate shot placement and squad positioning on the fly.
