Is true hand independence something you develop over time…

Is true hand independence something you develop over time, or do you have to practice it deliberately?
So I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately. Whenever I practice hands together, it feels less like I’m building actual independence and more like I’m just memorizing a specific pattern where both hands happen to coexist. They’re not really doing their own thing, they’re just locked into one combined movement I’ve drilled over and over.
So is this just how it works early on and it gradually gets better the more you play? Or is it one of those things where unless you specifically train for it (polyrhythms, different dynamics in each hand, etc.) it never really develops on its own?
Would love to hear how other people approached this, especially if you remember having the same feeling at some point.
