Naw, streaming video is trivial if you have a 1 second latency budget so you can use LL-DASH and CMAF. We hit that target with <100 hours of dev work on a co-watching/cloud-streaming project with only 2 PoPs in the US. WebRTC FEC is a relatively modern and wasn't on the table in 2020.
Btw you almost certainly tested on an unloaded connection so you're not seeing any HOL blocking like a real video stream would. Try playing a 20mbps YouTube video in the background while you ping. Oh and turn on a microwave oven when you're 3 walls (a room and a hallway) away from the AP for extra hilarity on the order of 80ms

And yes a 4k YouTube video makes it worse but "don't do that" is a valid response and realtime video won't be so bursty. I can get a very nice ping while more stable bandwidth hogs are running. Microwave is also "don't do that".
