I think it's important to point out that the lambda benchmark might be different for other programming languages.
I've noticed that SDK calls from golang lambda functions are faster than nodeJS functions. I just wanted to add this dimension so that we don't just blame lambda for the latency but consider other factors

Absolutely. There is a lot you can improve on your Lambda function code. The thing is: you have to know all these details if you have to improve for performance efficiency. It seems like the state machine in the stepfunction simply works pretty well without maintaining a bunch of code or configuration.

Optimizing your lambda function can be a really complex task.
