"...there is almost no chance that you're getting a 50ms latency on any action that requires a round-trip."

Which is why the comment is advocating for locally-cached resources.

"The way you improve responsiveness is by eliminating round-trips..."

Hence "preload" above.

Frameworks don't make your code smart. Writing a webapp that aggressively preloads without causing problems is hard, and while frameworks give you some tools to make that easier, they don't do the hard work for you.
