RetroComputing folks of Mastodon, can you help this meerkat understand why the Commodore 1541 (a) was so slow, and (b) was it was never officially "fixed" during the C64's life (i am excluding fast-loaders, e.g. Final Cartridge III)?

Note that I am aware of the 6522 serial shift register bug (per this article https://spectrum.ieee.org/commodore-64)

Picture of a Commodore 1541 disk drive, used with the Commodore 64. It is surprisingly long, and is a standard 80's beige color.
