There should definitely be more exploration of latency in the software that we use. Here's a really nice article about it from a while back, about typing in particular: https://pavelfatin.com/typing-with-pleasure/
In particular, this image offers a nice comparison of some newer and older pieces of software: https://pavelfatin.com/images/typing/editor-latency-windows-...
That said, typing isn't everything, but there are stark differences even in something so basic.

> These are tests of the latency between a keypress and the display of a character in a terminal
People noticed that the windows built-in terminal app has noticeable latency, and when the WSL1 team implemented their own terminal app, they ended up with much better latency [1]. I wonder if this input lag test was done using the built-in terminal or this WSL1 terminal.
