Yea that's a good point. The classic example is Haiti and the Dominican Republic, where the DR has trees on the border in contrast with often a bare landscape just on the other side.

Though I've heard this is actually overstated.

I think that's just different sources of imagery with different lighting. At some zoom levels it's more or less apparent, and it's mostly the same desert on both sides: https://www.google.com/maps/@31.03477,34.3411577,15440m/data...
