Of course latency is bottlenecked by the speed of light. It's the limit of how fast we can transmit information.

No it isn't. The switches and equipment slow it down. We're no where near sending and receiving data at the speed of light.

Whether we reach the limit or not, does not make it untrue.

Light speed is the ultimate bottleneck, we will never get faster than it.

Not really. Our equipment will never be as fast as the speed of light. So the equipment will always be the bottleneck.
