I don’t think that’s it, no one told me about that when I complained about that delay on the Mac Power Users forums, and I can’t find anything about it (such as removing that delay) online right now.

Which Mac(s) are you experiencing that on, and since which OS version?

I'm experience what you described with a 200ms lag, and didn't notice it until you bring it up. On a 2020 Intel mac. After reflection, for the way I'm using cmd-tab 90% of the tab I prefer this slight delay as it doesn't block the screen when i'm switching between my browser/code editor, and when I need to press cmd-tab more than once, it's been 200ms and I'm able to press tab until I reach my desired app and I don't really notice that there was a delay

GNOME does this too. Their reasoning was exactly what your parent commenter said. I can't find a link now. Not that it's helpful to you, but there is a GNOME extension that does away with the 200ms delay.
