Maybe we need to distinguish sims from video games? Some examples of sims in my mind would be iRacing (which has laser scanned tracks, so they are identical to the real ones), F1 sims, Asetto Corsa, etc. combined with proper hardware such as a very good steering wheel and load-cell pedals.
F1 pilots use sims in their training and in my experience a proper simulator definitively works. Of course a motion platform makes a big difference for those who can afford them.
I consider it a video game if you steer using a game pad from the sofa. These are of limited value, although they will definitely teach choosing the correct line and avoid turning in too early.
