Just to be clear, there are folks who can take a long sixteenth note passage of articulated notes at 140 beats per second.......no problem. This is not big ask in the standard repertoire, but it can be impossible for many (me included) in a single tongued format. I had a practical example of different physical limitation handed to me by a student to whom I was introducing double tonguing. After I outlined what I wanted the student to do, the student came back with the remark, "But how would YOU know if I'm single tonguing or not?" Of course the fact that it didn't matter to the student told me all I needed to know. People who can tongue fast just don't know what it is like for that to be a physical impossibility.
