It is not a question of the server having lag, 3G (and even 4G) can be less than perfect at times. When you are browsing the web, a dropped packet means (almost) nothing, but when you are waiting for a game to play it can be the difference between a good and bad user experience (just think back to the first release of Angry Birds on Android).
kptphalkon also brings up a good point.
And this still is not nefarious... no matter how many times you claim it is.
