People with a higher ping can only benefit from it if there is lag compensation in place - that said... lag compensation isn't an on-off switch - it makes things unfair to users with that unfairness switching sides depending on how much compensation you offer since higher levels of lag compensation will result in unresponsive "muddy" controls where you may often be teleported back in time to die after locally taking an action you thought compensated for it.

All these factors are pretty heavily interwoven in how the game ends up feeling to players.
