180 til 4-5 miles final is is common!! And MDW? Ha. I've been asked if I can maintain 200 til 4-5 miles final there!
I fly central eastern Canada and the US and where I go (for example EWR, MDW, BOS, IAD) it's rare to be told to slow to 200kts 20 miles out, except maybe IAD.
Your experience is valid but really doesn't seem relevant to the topic. CARS and speed limits and such.
