How are people able to solve a Rubix Cube in only a few seconds?

It’s kind of like this: you’re trying to get dressed as fast as you can so you put all your thought into finding clean undies, jeans, and a shirt, knowing you can throw on a random black hat, sneakers, and watch on your way out the door without thinking about it.
We only think far enough ahead to get us into familiar territory. Typically we inspect the cube to see what familiar mostly-solved condition we can get to in a competitive time at which point muscle memory hopefully takes over but the skill really is about identifying the closest mostly-solved configuration at the beginning.
