No sorry, its not a broken idea: throughput über alles is true of high-throughput-demanding systems, but latency matters is also true, for latency-demanding systems, and the two use cases represent - in an industrial sense - a very vast array of values. It's not really either/or - you are indeed identifying a knob that needs to be turned, in your particular use-case, on your particular system. There is no one-size fits all: it's a knob.
