Rates help in some ways, but it doesn't overall make you better.

You're completely wrong about everything except rates helping speed. Rates do make you overall better much more than you'd think.
By improving your speed, your comfort zone also rises, making slower jumpstreams/streams easier, which makes MA training much more effective.
Jacking also helps your MA believe it or not, and if you have to "mash the jack" (somehow) you're doing it wrong and the jacks are too fast for you. Rates also apply for jacking, they played a huge role on my improvement. You just probably won't need them as much in this case since there are a variety of jacking songs with different kinds of jacks and different bpms.

Also if you're aiming for MA, playing a higher key mode helps a shitload because it betters your control, just like playing really fast and bad patterned streams on 4k, but tiring yourself a lot less.
