Point is valid, but that's not the real reason in "the vast majority of cases."

The context here is that of the desktop software and the vast majority of desktop software is still not networked at its core. It is slow exactly because programmers used extra blubber layers to simplify their life, not because of the network API latency.

"simplify" lmao

Or rather to create an artificial market and justify their pay. More deeply, it is a symptom of our economic system that forces to do such things for having a living.
