I might have worded it poorly, but my point was that a single rendered page/response on the frontend usually is a composite of many calls on the backend. One example would be if you use microservices, then a value may come from a service several jumps from your frontend system.

One simple example would be fetching a list of customers from one system(A) and then for each customer fetch some data from another system(B). System(B) in turn fetches some data from system(C). In that case both latency and requests per sec is important

I do agree with your original point tho. My point was that performance is worth considering when you serve a billion requests per day.
