I've never had latency issues while talking on the phone using my AirPods.

Try fast-paced games or any audio/music apps. Latency is quite terrible, makes GarageBand itself unusable.

why would i care about latency in a music streaming app? i dont need the play/pause button to be accurate to the ms.

GarageBand is a music production app, but, as your question was about more mundane usage, this guy's article makes the point that the audio is no longer a replacement for haptic feedback. It also crippled his app a bit.

It might be an issue with high bitrate audio like FLAC/ALAC but I've never tried - the quality is probably lost on something like airpods anyways
