Maybe this is done to prevent the privilege implication or such. Guess some shows should be just frank that it's due to technical part one can win or lose and that the technical part can be improved too.

Mindset does actually have a place in real life martial arts. The more motivated you are, the more effort you put into your actions which typically results in you doing better than you would've otherwise.
