I know that the XPS is meant to be a prosumer product but I think the comparison is fair either way, mostly because you can actually buy both as a consumer. Dell doesn’t lock you out from buying a Latitude if you’re not an enterprise customer.
Latitudes aren’t sold at big box stores, that’s about the only difference the target audience makes to the general consumer.

The issue here is that you are comparing it to their business lineup, while it was a consumer product.
My understanding is that it was their premium consumer line sitting above the more entry level Inspiron line.
