Well now you're assuming what I'm assuming, which is fair enough because I assumed by your comment that you were saying the UI responsiveness isn't really a concern in DAWs. It's definitely a secondary concern, but people are accustomed to buttery smooth UIs and complain when they're not.
That said, I'd argue that even latency is still a concern for things like meters. If they are noticeably out of sync with what you hear then users will again complain.
You and the OP are just assuming it can't do whatever it is at "30fps"... if you're right, it will only take ten minutes if it's so bad, or an hour or two if it's subtle, to actually confirm whatever the worst thing is.
The "extra frame" I was thinking of is graphics pipeline latency, not redraw time.
