Recruiter turned up 15 minutes late and I terminated the application

Literally what the text said. I was interested in the job but after 15 minute wait time I wrote the recruiter that I'm not interested anymore. Got an apology reply, the call lasted longer than expected etc etc. My first instinct was to reply that it's no problem and we can start now but then I thought about it. What would happen if I was late? Isn't that very unprofessional? Especially in a field where punctuality and reliability is key? How do I feel about that really? So I came to the conclusion to accept the apology but terminate the application entirely.
