NTA, it's fiction the narrative goes for the most entertaining answers
IRL the US tried to train soldiers with nintendo games and simulators but it's more effective and economic to just fly them to a small country and overthrow the government to have an excuse to do live combat exercises, they've been doing it since forever
The one thing that might happen that resembles MGR (and MGS 2) is that some researchers with no ethics grab combat game footage and train killer robots with it, but anyone can scrape the web and use the data however they want, it's not limited to powerful groups with big funding anymore
