I trust you, but possibly your measurement of latency is incorrect. Are you measuring the latency from plucking the string to when the MIDI sound appears? It's not easy to make this measurement accurately without the right equipment.

The delay with MIDI guitars is generally caused by the detection mechanism/methodology. All MIDI/Synth guitar systems have latency issues, because it takes a certain amount of time for the system to analyze the pitch of the vibrating string and therefore the problem tends to be worse with the lower notes (lower cycle duration).

Keyboard driven synth don't have this vibrating string detection problem and therefore no one (including you) complains about delays.
