I said not much of an issue, but I didn't say it was not an issue at all.

A modern turbocharged engine doesn't have the throttle response of a naturaly aspirated engine with ITBs.
Even a naturally-aspirated engine with just one throttle-body often has a better throttle response, no wonder Volkswagen makes naturally-aspirated versions of the T-Cross in Brazil for regional exports, as some countries such as Mexico and Bolivia are quite hilly, and the turbo-lag is felt harder in La Paz and Mexico City than in Brasília for instance.
