By this logic the difference between game/120 and game/60 is also not
significant.

I do not agree about it.

Humans can imagine the time control is 30 minutes/40+20 minutes/40+10
minutes/game so they will not be in game/5 in most of the cases and when they
will be in game/5 it is going to be a simple endgame in most of the cases.

I except professional players to take responsible decision and not to go to
serious time trouble(the only exception is in a bad position when they look for
a saving move).
