Also WebRTC is inherently p2p . So you can connect directly to the other peer without server getting involved expect for connection (STUN and TURN). Basically message via the LAN even. Latency improves in many scenarios.

Latency has very little to do with the p2p aspect. In a client-server setting, the use of RTP/SCTP to communicate payloads between two clients would have significantly less latency than, say, a P2P TCP connection.
