Wired mice and keyboards have always had the edge over wireless exactly because of their higher reliability (while being less expensive). And reliability isn’t really an issue for headphones at all since you’re not providing input, hence why a wireless headphone isn’t that big a deal.
Latency is part of reliability. If your mouse has high latency because of a wireless connection, you would consider it unreliable because of that. I just used a broader term because wireless also loses out on more aspects besides latency (such as price, signal integrity and bandwidth). Wireless pretty much only has convenience as its perk.
Am I misunderstanding the meme?

So shouldnt the roles in the meme be swapped?
The post is about latency, not reliability
