    As the OP says: "It's a major flaw that no MMO community would accept", yet people are doing end-game just fine. So as I said you more than likely want to try to get people to boycott doing broken content if you want to force an answer.
    The main issue isn't that you can't do these things (dodging, interrupting, etc.), but that it's just not fun to do them.

    When you see yourself succeeding on your screen, sometimes it succeeds, sometimes it fails, but every time it feels like random: "oh, ok, this time I got the position check on my side." — "oh, ok, this time, it was off so I got hit." Neither feels fair, neither feels justified, neither succeeding nor losing feels logical. It's just random.

    In Coil for instance, I used to eat about half the AoE's, even though I dodged (on my screen) most of them. I could interrupt (stun/silence) but it failed a bit too often when clearly my animation was over before the enemy's cast bar had ended. The healers would heal me every time I missed. We would wipe every time I failed to interrupt. So in a way, yeah, it works 50% of the time. But every time I failed it was so frustrating that, basically, it was killing all the fun. It's exactly like managing to headshoot your enemies and the game telling you "nope, no headshot, that one is still running". Not fun. At all. Which is why I never set foot again in Coil. Which is why, though I always accepted to run Titan HM for my companions, I dreaded every single try, seeing people getting hit by landslide or WotL while hearing them on TS say "BUT I DODGED THAT!". Not fun. At all.

    I don't play a game to get frustrated. Hard, I enjoy. Unfair, it frustrates me. So a few weeks later, I unsubbed. And I'm not coming back until I hear people telling me first-hand that latency is no longer an issue.
