Oh thank goodness, so it's not just me who is driven insane by the mouse lag in browser input.

And while I understand your cynicism, I don't think it's deliberate as much as it's complacency, given that it's latency issues all the way down when it comes to modern user interfaces.

A literal decade ago Microsoft Research uploaded a video highlighting how much of an effect minimizing latency for touchscreens had on the user experience[0]. The vast majority of tablets still utterly suck in this regard a decade later, and I wonder if any manage to get below the 10ms barrier.

And of course there is Dan Luu's famous 2017 article on computer latency in general[1].
