Or maybe they type quickly and don’t stop after each and every letter to see the autocomplete results?

Exactly. I'm not typing D...pause...A...pause...L wait for suggested value. I'm typing dall by the time the first suggestion has had a chance to make its appearance. Then again, I'm on a real computer with a keyboard, and not some mobile device where it's impossible to type properly and forces those pauses between letters where the autocomplete might be noticeable.
I am in the same boat but experience this on mobile, too. They just slow everything down by the same factor.
