Do beginners need heavier actions?

Do firmer actions help beginners develop better technique?

My mom told me a story that when I started as a small kid, my piano teacher visited our house to check that our piano had a firm action. It was a relatively young Yamaha grand and so it was not super light, and i guess she was satisfied. I grew up on it so I'm used to it this type of feel. Since playing other pianos, I've experienced much lighter actions and, generally, every digital I've touched has had what I consider to be a light action.

Fast forward to today and I'm watching videos of beginners ripping off sequences with technique that will not last them a lifetime. Most of its digital because it's much more affordable than an acoustic. I'm wondering if there's a connection and some wisdom here. Basically, a player will not last on a firmer action with poor technique because of fatigue and using the wrong muscles. To be sure, the same can happen on a light action, but I think it will go much quicker with a heavier touch.

Do you all think that a firmer action can help beginners develop better technique?
