Airliners us FULL MOTION sims, not a desktop MSFS. HUGE difference.

One of the reasons why full-motion sims work is that it's very easy to
fool human senses. Remember, full-motion sims don't actually go
anywhere, but to the people inside, they certainly feel as though they
do.

To equate a desktop MSFS to any type of IMC flying is reckless IMHO.

One advantage to MSFS is that it forces you to use instruments in IMC.
Depending heavily on instruments isn't necessarily an advantage for
VFR, but it's very important for IFR.

To not depend on senses and totally rely on instruments without an
expectation that **they could fail** is reckless.

Not at all. If you're unwilling to put complete trust in your
instruments, you shouldn't be flying IFR. If they fail, well, you
might never get back home.

Wrong again, fukkwit. And i fly instruments almost every day.
