It simply never once crossed their mind that what works in Japan wouldn't work for the rest of the world.
Sorta sorta, there are very fast connections in japan, there are very slow connections, and there are connections that don't even work for 20% of the year (islands for example shut down on bad weathers).

No different then NA, if not a bit better.

I ping the NA datacenter at 35ms, and I still get stupidly bad titan run lags. Their netcode is subpar, their hardware is probably subpar, and their own estimates were probably subpar.

It's never clear cut issue except the fact that everything needs to be upto 2013 standards. Things like this is expected to be solved, because they have been solved(or mitigated to an extent).

Ever heard of GGPO, one hobby programer show the big corporations, how backwater in their thinking they were, fast forward half a decade, netcode has substantially been improved because one person did the obvious, "use their brains".
