Why do you say that? 

I've been using lsp for a long time, and typing lag can get unbearable with 
servers that sends too much stuff. When 20k completions containing _full_ 
documentation for every result that json gets humongous. Adding syntax 
highlights on top of that isn't advisable, considering emacs nonmultithreaded 
nature.

That does not mean piling on features will help. Eglot is fast exactly because 
we've been mindful on what has been added.
