In a hybrid computing architecture, why is time-sensitive control logic executed at the edge rather than in the cloud?

Time-sensitive control logic is executed at the edge because of network latency, which is the time delay required for data to travel from a device to a remote server and back. When control logic resides in the cloud, data must travel across wide-area networks or the internet to reach a data center, undergo processing, and return an instruction. This round-trip time introduces unpredictable delays, often measured in hundreds of millis....
