It might, but you don't want to get natural immunity because that would mean getting sick first.
Getting booster shots doesn't simply give you more antibodies, it gives you better ones; each round finds new ways to match the spike protein.

Regarding "better antibodies", that doesn't make any sense to me. More in number perhaps, but better? It's the exact same formula being given as boosters.

Similarly, immunity to omicron might not be good at the other variants (which are worse for you), which is why reusing the existing boosters instead of making new ones isn't that bad an idea.
"One major caveat of the current study is that we used an in vitro assay system and the pseudotyped viruses but not the real viruses were used in the assay."
Yesterday I read that the customised omicron specific boosters being developed by pfizer and moderna are not going ahead as the existing boosters are deemed good enough, though I can't find the link for that now.
