No one, who actually reads comic books finds that strange.
Darkseid perceives things at least in the microseconds range:

Moves at unthinkable speeds, which certainly sounds fast:

And here is Darkseid falling down the stairs:

So, how often has Thanos' speed been mentioned? Oh yeah, that's right... Not even a single time throughout his entire existence.
How often has Darkseid been overwhelmed by Speed? Can't really remember all too many instances. Is there even one? Even Darkseids minion in Darkseid disguise (or with his powers or something stupid like that) managed to grab Superman, before Superman even saw it coming.
How often has Thanos been overwhelmed by speed? Oh god damn, do you have some time left? There was the Runner instance, also Captain Marvel, Eros and hell even Spider-Man, hahaha!
