Relying on a host to generate a TTL exceeded (for your traceroute times) is
an inaccurate way of looking at latency. It's just as inaccurate as pining
that same device (hop). These are process level operations and are not
given the same priority as regular traffic (going through).

But you're still comparing unreliable numbers. The host generating the
TTL Exceeded (600ms) is still doing process level things to generate
that message.
