Why do people without lag have the disadvantage?

[Rommie]

it always seems like the lagging person has absolutely no trouble shooting at me and hitting me.

I am the one getting hit by invisi guns and mines. I am the one shooting at a jumping or outright teleporting target.

Never quite understood how that part works.

And why should they mind? After all, they're not the ones losing.

Edit:

And yeah, you can shoot them down. It just takes patience.
Note:I have never fought one though.

Nope, I tried it plenty of times. You can't kill a ship that teleports in random areas around you every 3 seconds.
