depends on the definition of "slow". unless you have servers and databases everywhere (overkill for 99% of apps), your endpoint will be probably be >400ms for some people somewhere, enough to feel as a user.
that's without accounting for patchy reception (in a tunnel?), network blips, server blips (overworked?), etc.
i'm not saying everything should be optimistic, but for something like a hn upvote, i dont care if my public wifi freaked out and took 3 seconds for that 1 request, and i think more people are like that than not
