Water heater location. Is the tankless heater located that much further away than the traditional tank heater? Very well could be but for us both would be located in the attic so waiting for hot water to get to the dishwasher is not an issue. We would wait for hot water with either system.

Correct, location isn't that much different. I don't recall having this issue with a standard setup but that was a different house.
Perhaps the time to achieve hot water output is longer with a tankless heater, but I have zero proof of that.
