This might be true in some places ... but that is far from universal. There are people who just play higher because they have more money, but they often don't play as bad as the worst at 1-2.
Also, in my experience, often a 2-5 reg. who is even a little bit worse than you but has been playing mainly 2-5 for years will be much more likely to come after anyone they've not seen before even if he knows you are a winning 1-3 player ... because his bankroll will be much bigger, and/or more comfortable with bigger pots, and he will want to see how you react to spots where 99% of 1-2/1-3 players are never bluffing.
Then there will sometimes be a good 5-10+ player just hanging out for whatever reason.
It isn't the end times, yet, but it also isn't 2005 or even 2015 anymore (although maybe it still is 2005 in Texas, from some of the stories I've heard).
