Unfortunately that’s an urban legend. The seseo/ceceo goes way further back to like the 15th century. But there is something to be said about “early colonies” maintaining the “original “ language. The canaries and Puerto Rico are said to have the more “authentic” Spanish because they were isolated. This is more what is important to maintaining a type of regional accent.
