The problem is it throttles everything by a constant factor. So if at full speed response A arrived after response B, it still most likely will, they will all just arrive slower.
It’s like the safety car in Formula 1: the cars will all slow down to crawl, but they won’t change order because they can’t overtake.
Better to test a scenario like in F1 where one car hits another, and then takes a few more out with them. That will really scatter the order and timings of things. That’s more how the real world of Wi-Fi and cellular connections works, so being able to handle that level of unpredictability is going to lead to way more robust apps and a better UX.
I have a dream of opening a co-working space for developers where you can connect to “Free Airport Wi-Fi” to really test your web application is going to survive in the real world.
