It's more because at a certain point, unless you're explicitly of the "Bully" archetype, all power and no training due to innate talent (Frieza), use of Ki/Chakra/Nen/Reishi/Qi/Chi is in itself a massive demonstration of Martial Arts capability. It's "Super Martial Arts." So doing a basic task like, I don't know, using telekinesis to lift up mild objects would actually if quantified be thousands of years of combat experience in Martial Arts, or dozens of Martial Arts. But because that can't BE quantified, you're kinda just left to assume they're just "really really reeaaallly good" (because they "are"). Or if you're a feat-monger, they're shit at MA because all they do is "fire fuckass energy beams."
That's why before RoF most people kinda assumed Frieza DID train. He alluded to taking damage from his parents, he has specifically coordinated movements and attacks, can use Ki (which was explicitly connected to Martial Arts in OG DB), and so on. Obviously he hadn't become a "real fighter," because that was a large portion of how the Z-Fighters were able to last as long as they did-(Using their Earthling Training to get around their lack of Martial Arts)-But it's made pretty clear at one point by Vegeta that Earthlings Energy Use is unique in the Galaxy/Universe. (Which is why despite having trained HIMSELF, he did not have Energy Detection and relied on a Scouter.) So no one really thought harder on it. It just made sense. It's for those same reasons why everyone kinda scoffs at the logic of RoF. If he had did one pushup, he'd of gotten past the thing he feared casually. It's laughable, really.
