'Tis true only a taildragger will DEMAND correct landing technique (with correct use of rudder and a full hold-off unless you're 'wheeling' it on). It will bite if you don't do it right!
A trike will mask sloppy technique (just spend a while watching landings at any GA field - almost all the PA28s and C172s will be 3-pointed on with minimal hold-off).
But - not many instructors can fly-em, and even fewer schools run trainers which have the 3rd wheel at the correct end.
