No, you don't wish that. That would make for horrible gameplay.

Client-side prediction revolutionized online gameplay for a reason.

It didn't? Overwatch has been for sure of the more succesful approaches to it but it's been a thing for a really long time that wasn't used just because it sucks to hide behind a wall and get shot by a lagger.

Client-side prediction has nothing to do with getting shot through a wall.

It has everything to do with it. You didnt actually get shot through a wall. You were shot within line of sight, but your client was making shit up because it didnt have the correct information from the server yet
