Emacs mastery is not about using the default keys, it's about
understanding how you can transform Emacs, so it adapts to you,
not the other way around.
I often read from beginners in forums that they think the
keybindings give emacs its power, though the real power is
the lisp environment which allows you to create your own
personal working environment including completely revamping
them and using vi bindings if you want.
So Emacs proficiency has nothing to do with the keys. They
are only the legacy defaults which can be changed as any other
custom aspects of emacs.
