Microwaves are another example. Used to just turn a knob to the number of minutes you want, and done. Now it's five button presses. (Maybe not exactly a latency thing, but a UX one that makes it slower).

At least some microwaves will run N minutes when you press the N button once. Also you can hit the add 30 seconds button a couple of times, and it starts running instantly.
