I believe some delays happen to a reason, just as everything else is.

Presume playing strategically— be it in Yu-Gi-Oh! (which I'm familiar of), or any card game you know (like perhaps, solitaire). Would you definitely throw in a flush when you can also aim for the royal flush? Would you throw in a Normal Summon and activate its effects when it can be negated by another card?

Point is, delays are in fact, universal. And if I have to be frank, I couldn't see any relation between women's suffrage and the notion of instant gratification. Not everything happens overnight as a matter of fact. And even if it does, you still have the whole 24 hours as a delay.
