I agree with your logic, but I'm not sure on the conclusion
In my limited anecdotal data*, you learn to handle as much stress as your formative enviroment exposes, and the problems start when the stress ramps up too fast for a person to adapt
Which is why, for someone from a "worse" backgrounds other people "feel soft", is like comparing a strongman to an average person and expecting them to handle similar weights, but then they also tend to have other coping mechanisms, which may or may not be a net positive
*Venezuelan migrant here, I recently saw on reddit list of suicide rates by countries in LATAM, Venezuela was I believe second to lowest and it was a significant difference, even after a crisis large enough to move a population the size of Laos out of the country
