What to Do When You Get Sherlocked by Apple

Just watching their promo video about the Astropad Studio on their website, what I see is the latency for drawing is annoyingly bad (and they show it exactly when they're talking about "lightning fast speed" :O )

But part of the problem is probably the drawing software too, because even native drawing has different latency between drawing apps:

It's not an easy problem because even 1 ms latency is noticeable in drawing as Microsoft research showed:

Apple OS updates broke low latency even on things that only send the mouse, like Synergy (power saving causes latency when idle and wakes up for responsiveness only on hardware input, or something like that). My guess is sidecar uses OS level stuff to get around some of those limitations, which may have affected astropad too?
