Definitely, I agree. Barring the north western part of SA, all countries are doing pretty well. They haven't caught up with the Rest of the world just because the colonialism left their land later than the rest of the world.
There are a bunch of reasons they haven't caught up. I would say it's primarily the frequent trysts with outright socialism and hyperinflation that have held them back. The regular US coups haven't helped either and America's War on Drugs has been a disaster for them.
Still, it's very encouraging to see several Latin American countries trying out more promising approaches.

You are right. However, America's impact on SA has declined rapidly in recent years as I see it and it's definitely helping them. I've been following one female biker on YouTube who travelled from the south of SA to Alasaka covering all countries from both the continents in 2023. To my surprise, she didn't even have a single security issue there. Also, it was impressive how people were happy and friendly there.

Yeah, it's generally a lively and friendly culture. We've enjoyed our trips to various parts of Latin America and are looking forward to more in the future.
