  While it matters, +-100ms doesn't matter in the vast majority of web use cases. There is even such a thing as too fast.

Less than 1 second is a good guideline for page load though as shown by your link.

Instant changes and updates have been the norm in mobile apps forever and optimistic UI is becoming pretty standard on the web too, see Linear for example.
