I think people are unaware, and/or have never had to measure a green before. I have played on blazing fast TOUR greens, and otherwise, have measured both multiple times and have been lucky enough to feel like I have enough experience to tell the difference. Ive also played on greens that they had to slow down for a tour event, which was interesting to say the least.

But all in all I think its because people just guess how fast the tour greens are and have their local shag courses that they call a 10', (double digit internet golfer thing) and they base it off that. Not to mention the courses that do publicly post their stimp speeds, lie a lot, just as much as they lie on the scorecard about yardages.
