Because the two things aren't the same. Aquaman does the same thing lots of characters do against speedsters. He's not actively fighting at super speed, he's doing something and having hyperbole added, but without that it's not so impressive. Whereas the artwork with Jay and Adam clearly shows them engaging each other at high speeds.
You need to learn to separate traditional speedster PIS with actual feats. Most of Aquaman's things are him taking someone by surprise, or him showing superhuman reaction time, but not at a massively high level. Just look at Flash, he can do things at beyond the speed of light, Aquaman isn't really presented that way though, right? Black Adam is presented as a peer of Captain Marvel, who can actively fight a high end speedster at super speed, and his number of appearances in comics aren't plentiful when compared to Aquaman's. Looking at most of his career, Aquaman really isn't someone who has high end reaction time.
So despite having feats or reacting to Speedsters it's all irrelevant because Black Adam is to move at super speed...
The definition of a fight is a physical struggle Adam isnt giving Jay a physical struggle if these peer Captain Marvel stuff is impressive why not post the fights and the usage of said speed.
Being someone's rival or enemy doesn't make you their physical peer it doesn't suggest you can do whatever they can physically. I'm pretty sure Pre52 Captain Marvel is faster then Superman travel wise whose both are faster then Teth by feats.
Your excuse that surprising them isn't impressive is just that an excuse and it's pretty pitiful at this point on how we can discredit multiple instances yet favor one.
Aquaman Suprsises Flash ok.. It doesn't change the fact that Flash was moving at Super speed or in chase of one of his rogues, it doesn't change the fact that Aquaman can perceive him it goes on to the point of being able to move in a superspeed type of way not necessarily traveling in running speed but his muscle movement is incredible and being downplayed in favor to suggest Teth does what speedblitz?
What about Aquaman, Wonder Woman, and Superman charging a villain at speed and him keeping pace? Aquaman, Dark Flash, Wonder Woman, Superman racing to a meeting in Africa? Aquaman Dodging lightning from cloud to ground from Weather Wizard? Aquaman surprising speedster who are moving at superspeed suggest he's able to see them at superspeed and then act on it
You can't use the excuse that Jay is fighting at his top speed when there's nothing to suggest it whereas the instances Aquaman is doing something impressive in terms of speed it's the characters holding back. Doesn't really matter what you think in that regard if your going to suggest the latter for the Aquaman instances by logic the Teth scans should be taken in the same vein. Otherwise it's a double standard.
There's scams of Despero failing to tag Aquaman.
Excuses only go so far.
