I feel like network latency is a big issue that gets kind of ignored because people build for themselves and other people in their environments. It's a very difficult technical problem, so you can't say it's purely out of ignorance, but when people start projects, they rarely think about how much slower their apps are going to be for people outside of their geographical vicinity (like the USA for me).

These sorts of things have very highly crossover between the right thing to do and the right business move. Often the most frothy markets are the ones ignored by mainstream tech.
