I’m fairly certain that tolerance does mute the spiciness of foods. There are foods others struggle with that I hardly notice is even spicy.

It feels more like building a muscle than building a skill.

Yes, your tastebuds become “jaded.” It’s part of why little kids don’t tend to like any spiciness at all.

Genetics play a bit of a factor and your taste buds do develop more as you get older. But if you’re comparing tongue for tongue, the tingly/pain sensations are rated to be more or less the same.
