Please Explain Focus vs Lens Speed

Okay guys, I feel like a complete idiot for asking, having used RFs for the past few years... But I see it referenced so often that I'm just going to put myself out there and say it:

I don't quite 'get' what you guys are saying in regards to the difficulty of focusing a fast/wide open lens on a rangefinder.

Primarily, I use a 40/1.4 Nokton on my R3A, and all I do is line up the pictures in the rangefinder patch- which is what you do for any lens

Is the difficulty that people talk about just due to the thin DOF wide open and making sure you're focused on the right thing in the patch?

Just going to grab my dunce cap and sit in the corner now
