IMO, some players actually learn a lot by copying or imitating some aspects of pro players - whether it be the possible counters for builds or champions, or how and which plays to make on the situation.

Your points are straightforward and precise, but let's not forget that the process of learning is often about modelling themselves after someone's success, and so it's not always wrong to copy a pro player's who done well (though taking into account what you said about different environments and levels of gaming, this of course doesn't apply thoroughly to every situation).
