I agree with the point about unlimited and undetectable. I think there's nuance to low latency.

Here the latency the attacker is limited by the amount of parallelism they can bring to bear on e.g. PBKDF. Ultimately this is an economic consideration about the cost to protect a secret vs cost to crack it.
