Think about how fast people can type. It’s a very complicated and precise activity, and yet there are people in every office building who could easily type a sentence in the time it takes the best cubers to solve a cube. That just the power of human dexterity and muscle memory. It’s just that most people have a lot more practice typing than solving a Rubik’s cube.
In addition to the algorithms others have mentioned, the world records still require an element of luck. The top cubers may be able to consistently get under 10 seconds, but the 4 and 5 second solves are still relatively rare lucky events.
