There are LSPs that can be slower than the network, so having an extra hop doesn't impact the UX too much (in that case). I don't usually even notice. Networks can vary also, depending on your/DC location, routes, VPNs, providers (and etc.), it can be under 50ms latency (which isn't even noticeable completions-wise) or over 1000ms. The most important thing is that the typing itself is fast, as it happens on the local machine. Compared e.g. to vim running in an SSH session — that can feel really bad, especially if the remote machine is on the other side of the ocean. So compared to that, VSCode is a big upgrade.
