This argument is not true.
The system's latency can be made ZERO today. Or a figure so close to zero that's ridiculous. But you need good hardware. A good PC and a proper monitor, either a CRT or a Free-Sync/G-Sync flat panel. This is the path of virtue. Expensive and laborious.
Then you have the path of vice: lousy hardware compensation, sloth and stinginess. Don't listen to those purists, we offer you a product that gets you the same (better!) performance on your beloved recycled Atom laptop or supercheap Raspberry Pi.
And still, latency compensation is a very, very clever trick. It's Shmupmame done right. But it's a wrong approach to the problem.
