That's not trying to counter your argument. It's just a fact.
But seriously (not that that wasn't serious), yes, she's been playing for 14 years. The last 3 of those years are, as far as I can see (without making too much effort), undocumented. She may have done exactly what you suggested. And she IS still very young, there's plenty of time for her to develop her playing in all sorts of ways.

I'm not particularly talking about the genre, rather the guitar-for-guitars-sake stuff.
I like to think of myself as a musician who happens to play guitar, so I tend to focus on the overall performance or song, and not my own gymnastic ability.

We’ve reached the point where electric guitar is being taught to some youngsters in the same way as traditional classical instruments. And that's inevitable: it may be a relatively new instrument but it's been a successful one and it was never going to remain outside the family of conventional instruments forever.
Part of the culture is to develop technique to the point where the student can play the repertoire at very high levels of technical difficulty. They showcase that by performing technically challenging pieces. That seems to be what’s happening here.
You can't achieve what she wants to achieve by knocking out a nicely felt version of "Sultans of Swing". People who can do that are a dime a dozen.
The two things aren't mutually-exclusive. You can learn to play fast and learn to get the basics right at the same time, especially in the first 15 years of playing! So many don't, though.
