I’m pretty aware that this is a “dumb” question, but my basic understanding of electricity can’t figure it out. I know the basic concept of resistance, currency and voltage, but I can’t comprehend how it takes so long to store charge in a battery

Fwiw. At this point, we are being bottlenecked by the chargers in most cases.
Yes, batteries have a max charge rate to manage the heat.
But right now, many batteries *could* be charged faster if they had the juice. But the DC inverters, cables, and charging connectors become a weak point in the chain. There are some physical constraints on how thick it can be and remain flexible, and how big the charging port is in the car.
Keeping in mind, most charging is done at home with relatively low amps. So do we care to spend and sacrifice for peak charging speed we may never use.
