Aren't we saying that all of the popular 'Real Time Strategy" games are in fact turn-based, but there are 7 turns per second?

Hah, nope. A delay of 150ms doesn't mean that events only happen every 150ms. Also even if events were sent in 150ms chunks, the offset of time within that chunk would still matter.
With that said, most games do have a maximum tick rate, so in a very misleading way you could say they are turn-based ;)
