If the hardware specifies 60Hz refresh rate, then that's that. It's the programs job to make sure what ever it is supposed to be displaying is in sync with the hardware. How the fuck did you miss this bit of info? It's a fricking vital part for a programmer.

If you're, let's say, interfacing with a radar through a uart-chip, then would you set the baud to what ever the fuck your shitty program can manage, then just leave it at that. Hoping it would work? Not giving a fuck if what ever is displayed is correct or not? It's just unbelievable to considering it.

No, you wouldn't. But sure enough, here you and most of every other programmer are, thinking it's perfectly fine to display garbage through hardware which specifies 60Hz baud.
