I learnt on tailwheel (or rather tailskid "DH82a") and have always landed tailwheel/nosewheel the same way ... or ways. Can't see what all the fuss is about to be honest.
Exactly so. That clearly demonstrates the big disadvantage of teching people to fly in nosewheel aeroplanes - many are not taught how to land, but the aeroplane lets them get away with it (until the noseleg breaks). A sad reflection of many (by no means all) of today's instructors.

Learn on a taildragger, and the aeroplane will not tolerate sloppy technique.
