There was a study that has shown correlation between revenue drop and milliseconds that page takes to load. It’s not only hackers that respond to performance.
As for competition - due to network effects there are very few competitors to things like Facebook, Amazon and other big tech.
If these were federated services participating in communication built around some gigantic independent social graph - that would enable more competition in terms of UI performance, features, etc. Not going to happen anytime soon though.
