I disagree. Most of my playing over my lifetime has been in an ensemble setting, but for the past 5 years most of my gigs have been as a soloist. But that weekly jam/song circle with my friends has made me a better player. Better player in a group or as a soloist. Better means better, regardless of the setting. The skill transfers.
Most people don't perform scales, arpeggios, picking exercises, etc. at a public performance either, but they still practice them.
