It's not clear why. I mean, the time from me hitting a key to that appearing on a screen on a word processor hasn't gone down. And the quality of the text displayed on the screen also isn't improving...
If it "hasn't gone down" then by your own admission you can't differentiate a response time under roughly 16.6ms. Possibly higher than that, since latency has only increased since then. Yet the most common displays only have a 60Hz refresh rate, so exactly what do you want here?

As for your assertion that the text quality hasn't improved, I really don't even know where to go here. Proportional fonts are now a thing. Fonts that involve more than an 8x8 glyph hard-coded into an EEPROM for the basic ASCII subset is now a thing.

In the past 20+ years, the whole concept of user interface design has gone completely out the window, replaced by a facile one-size-fits-all dogma that helps nobody. But I can't agree that there have been "no improvements" to text rendering since the 6502 days.

My current work machine is a year and a half old MacBook Pro. If is not unusual for that machine to have what subjectively looks like a quarter of a second latency been key press and screen update.
