It wouldn't be a wise decision; what if they one day decide to enter into live programming (sports, news, etc.), where latency does matter?

Latency doesn't really matter for that either. Seeing a football play 5 seconds too late doesn't hurt anyone.

And existing streaming services already have a latency of several seconds. Twitch for example can have a delay from 5 to 20 seconds or more. Unless you're using WebRTC or similar technologies you won't see latencies below a second.
