Laundry latency is not a problem for me. I do not have consecutive loads 90+% of the time. I have 3-4 loads a week. On the other hand, I do have limited space for appliances, so in many places I've lived buying a seperate washer and dryer would mean either forgoing a dishwasher, or getting a condenser dryer and installing it in the corner of some random room away from the other appliances (which would technically be a code violation as then it wouldn't have its own dedicated RCD). So I get a combo unit, turn it on and forget about it for several hours (when I'm home all day, I even use the eco mode, which takes 6 hours for a combined wash and dry). Come back later in the day and unload. It actually does have a 60 minute wash + dry cycle but I rarely use it as it uses a very hot dry cycle which risks shrinking clothes.
