I wasn't debating latency at all, though. The OP doesn't even mention connection or lag issues, it was purely for the context of game mechanics so I saw no reason to bring it up.

There's so many factors: ISP, upload/download rate, CDN, Server power, location, programming, hardware limitations client-side, etc. That is a debate for a whole other thread, though.
