Neither Perseverence or SpaceX landings involve latency for control commands, they are automated/preprogrammed in the vehicle and do not rely on real-time commands from the ground.

No one have said otherwise. The point still stands that landing on earth is not in the same universe as landing on Mars. Comparing is stupid.
