How does this allow for header bidding? Anything needed could be done in page or with a connection that delays the response until some condition is met.

The browser adding an artificial delay seems like it's just a way for the browser to control the process, and when the browser is controlled by an ad network, that makes me very suspicious as to the motives for an artificial delay.
