Why cant we just look at a page and read it all through instantly.

Seeing isn’t comprehending. If you look at a photograph, you can “take it in” in less than a second, but just like with reading, you actually have to spend time and pay attention if you want to understand small details in it.
Additionally, our brains are hard-wired to interpret things you see in a photograph. We can train ourselves to see meaning in words, but reading still isn’t something that evolution has had time to optimize for.
