Here's one site that attempts to catalog this: https://displaylag.com/video-game-input-lag-database/

Found an article from a few years ago: https://www.gamasutra.com/view/feature/3725/measuring_respon...

Not all games are that bad, especially these days. And your overall point is correct: adding even a little bit on top of that already horrendous latency is going to be noticeable by players.

Worst out of the 23 games listed in the first link has 8 frames of latency at 120 fps, which is about 66ms. Monitor input lag included.

200ms, while possible, is far from "most AAA+ games", as OP stated.

Sure, there's people that play on lowest-end consoles, on a crappy LCD TV with game mode disabled, but let's not consider that the norm for all players/all AAA+ games, and I'm going to need hard sources showing whether those worst case environments get even close to triple digit latencies.
