You probably aren’t that bad at taking care of plants.
It’s just that a lot of them are raised as quickly and cheaply as possible by using hormones, so when you get them they suffer from cold turkey withdrawal
What many people don’t keep in mind is that plants are usually sold in way-too-small plant pots - they usually need to be repotted immediately and can use some fresh soil, optionally fitted with some kind of plant-benefical nutrient.
What you mention is definitely true, but from my experience, a lot of my friends’ and acquaintances’ plants die because they don’t repot them.
I grow basil in my bedroom before it’s warm enough to survive outside. A 100w equivalent led bulb has been enough to light up a couple square feet of room to grow.
Bonus: if you put it somewhere near your eyeline you’ll notice when they start wilting and need water

Personally, I ain’t got time for any plant that doesn’t grow like weeds. My spiderplants survived month-long dry spells and they’re still multiplying!
Also a lot of plante usw the Winter to shed a lot of foliage even indoors

Then you could try getting a growth light and a timer
