Renting vs. owning can have a significant effect. Most people I know who
own fly much more often than people who rent. I went from 25 hours a year to
over 80 per year when I bought. Individual planes can vary, too.
Modifications, rigging, weights, equipment all can play a role.

LOL, so you think owners make better pilots than renters just because
they own a plane. A fair number of owners fly very little, these lease
back their planes to FBOs so to keep it in the air.
I know this is semi-OT but renter v owner has nothing to do with being
a safe/good pilot. Most people are most familar with cruise because
that's where they spend most of their time during flights. But I would
say that ~50% of the pilots _I_ know (not a random or presentive sample)
go out and do stalls, T&G, slow flight, etc. And they're all renters
