Competitive video games also make me better at rapid decision making under pressure, prediction, (clear) communication and teamwork.
In the same way I could say that drawing and painting only makes you better at drawing and painting.

Absolutely and it's highly subjective. For years, I prefered playing video games to everything else. But now I'd rather see myself as a painter than a gamer.
This is not a question of things being better or worse generally speaking. It's a question what's good for oneself.
