The slow/fine focus is incredibly annoying and I always feel like I can never get it as perfect as I can with scopes utilizing a fast focus eyepiece. Is there a reason why scope manufacturers haven't switched to fast focus eyepieces for reticle focus?
Rifle Scopes Why are "slow/fine" reticle focus eyepieces still a thing?

Why are you needing to adjust it so much that its a hassle. Focus it the day you get it and leave it alone.
If it's not their rifle they should quit their bitching, buy their own.
Or go be poor somewhere else.

Generally, it is easier to make a traditional eyepiece so that it does not exhibit a thick black ring around the image. It is clearly doable with fast focus eyepieces, but harder.
Also, with many scope caps, traditional eyepiece works better.
Lastly, it is easier to make a locking eyepiece this way, so that it does not shift in the field.
Several manufacturers have gone to an intermediate solution where they use a traditional eyepiece with coarser threads, so it is faster to adjust.

If someone lets me shoot their rifle I absolutely won’t change their stock settings or reticle focus.
I’ll happily deal with a slightly out of focus reticle.

Thanks for being the only one to offer an actual answer! Makes sense.
