Airlines call them CBT as well, although it's really "iPad based training" at most airlines.

For flight sim hobby you can definitely watch CBT at 2x speed and just grasp a high level view on what buttons to press. But for real world flying you need the level of detail you see in CBT.

For example you really want to know what happens when you loose specific hydraulics systems and how things like accumulators can affect that. Because it could be that you only have the brakes work for a few applications (using accumulator pressure). Definitely not a good idea to taxi after landing like that.
