Not quite. You can still have a quality game with such a limited time. It's pattern recognition, opening repertoire, endgame technique etc that help cut down on wasting time needlessly. Connection can play a role over a phone, but over a computer I haven't had an issue even if the opposing player was lagging hard.
Yea, the time controls that I aforementioned is what you'll typically see from a GM playing online. Look at Hikaru's games for instance. Bullet god and blitz player. Sometimes I'm in awe watching his 1min games because you'll be hard pressed to find some obvious blunders, not to mention how quickly he puts the opponent in time trouble what seemingly seems just a faster player wins game.

Back in those days clocks weren't as advanced as they are nowadays, hence they played like 10sec per move indefinitely lol. Most of those games weren't even recorded with good reason as classical time control was the only serious way to play chess.
Yea man, the late Gligoric was a legend in the game, but he was even a better person. I loved this quote of his: "I was born a few decades too early, otherwise I would be a millionaire"
