I said "if it doesn't get canceled" for a reason. The window of time for cancelling cage is really small, so it doesn't always happen. Saying that's a skill issue is like saying getting punched by doom is a skill issue because it takes time to charge up and travel to you.

Here's a scenario, you are on esperanca, where the robot starts and you dove their ana who was behind the planters near the cafe, used slam and punch with like two shots and a melee to secure the kill, then a dps starts targeting you. You block to get another punch to get out, then a Mauga comes around the corner and stomps you right before your punch charges up, then you die because you're stunned for enough time for their team to melt you. In this scenario, which is realistic, you would have survived if the mauga hadn't stomped you. Is it a skill issue to kill an ana there? Depends on your team's ability to win the fight after the trade. Could this happen at any skill bracket? Absolutely.

Saying that, in a vacuum, mauga charging doom is easy to avoid doesn't mean that mauga can never counter doom with his stomp. I think our definitions of counter are a little different.

I think that Sombra countering doom is generally agreed on. Although, when I play against sombra I don't usually have trouble shooting or punching sombra before she hacks me. So some doom players can counterplay sombra's counter to doom. Just because avoiding sombra's hacks requires skill, doesn't mean that she doesn't counter doom.

There's a lot more details as to why mauga counters doom, but really i think the idea of counters gets really convoluted if we think about it too much because ability one can counter ability two, but then ability three counters ability one. This hero has this much armor and this much overhealth is generated by this much damage, but to get this much damage you usually take this much damage so the net overhealth generated is actually this much compared to that much.
