Yeah, that's what I was thinking too. But again, the jutsu is fast because the users have to use their top speed as a requirement for the penetration. Except its not. The speed was never stated to be necessery for the technique or contribute to it penetrative power. In fact the manga has shown the exact opposite of this claim multiple times.

Look at how fast Minato was in comparison to the other hokage when he ran to the battlefield and then look at how he compares to the other hokage during battle. The speed difference between them seemed to become a lot smaller. Travel speed=/=Combat Speed

That's because all the characters seem to be cautious about tunnel vision or overextending with their speed. High speculation.

kakashi designed the technique to utilize his absolute top speed and to end his opponent as fast as possible with penetrative force. Never stated

but minato banned it because using your top speed in a fight is dangerous unless your opponent is guaranteed to be unable to react. This wouldnt be a good reason to ban the technique altogether.

Look at the raikage vs obito at the kage summit. Ayy charged at obito presumably with his V2 speed and went crashing into a wall after slipping through obito. Ayy had little to no tunnel vision because of the reflex boost, but he was still incredibly off balanced and couldn't immediately stop his speed. That was A V1 and even non-speedsters have a similar problem after passing through Obito
