One weird reason I've personal run into: when building on the edge, like with cloudflare workers, you can run into timeout issues because of how long password hashing takes.

That should be only if you're on the free plan that has a 10ms time limit. Paid plan gets 30 whole seconds which is plenty of time to hash lots of passwords.
