my flight got delayed but the pilot said they would go faster to make up for lost time and we ended up arriving early. This got me thinking why can’t planes always go at this faster speed?

This likely has to do with fuel efficiency which has to do with cost. The customer experience is very important so if there’s more cost to make up for lost time because of some delay than that ensures a good customer experience, but if you’re on time and everything is running in sync, then you can fly at a slower speed and save money. It all adds up.
