You are right.
but sometimes it helps on improving end user performance.


"
*Geographically distributed SQL database *TransLattice offers the world’s
first globally distributed relational database management system. All the
functional capabilities of a traditional RDBMS, including ACID semantics of
SQL, are present. Nodes may be deployed wherever more processing power is
required.
To improve end user performance, data placement is based on access history,
bounded by data location policies."
