That's like saying that an INTJ in a house full of ESFPs is impossible since the Inferior function would be more developed. Also, with I/E especially, you don't strengthen extroversion and become more E. It's not something you just...level up or something. Social skills, yes. Adaptation takes place...that doesn't give you more social energy reserves or determine whether you naturally prefer cognitive introversion vs extroversion. A person can be surrounded by Se their entire lives and still turn out with shitty Se, and around Es their entire lives, encouraged to be E, told I is a bad thing, dissuaded from introversion via social influence such as criticisms (snoody, stuck up, etc. for being quiet) and they are still going to be no less I than they were initially.
Yes, there is nurture, but there are other (and better) determining factors involved in determining I/E anyways even if you're more balanced in Ne and Ti for example. On a related note, I also grew up with Te being drilled into my brain and still am Ti instead, with a very clear preference.

Actually, people do alter the expression of their tendencies considerably depending on their socialisation. It's not uncommon for a male Feeler to come across as a Thinker due to cultural stereotypes, for example, and there are various reasons why a person might mistype themselves, and appear as a different type to other people, depending on what habits they formed regarding their function use.

If the brain is plastic (intelligence is fluid), then wouldn't functions behave similarly. Of course, people have preferences based on their natural inclinations, but other functions can be improved or repressed further depending on situation. Why have you developed Ti? Well, simply because you gravitate toward that mode of thinking and every situation your were immersed in facilitated the development further....Like for instance, advanced Math can be stimulating for Ti.
