How are you < 2000 and still suck at blitz?

So it is a common fact that Grandmasters unless they are super-duper Grandmasters like myself, don't play blitz. Well, now it all of a sudden dawned on me that if no GM's play blitz, then people who are less than 2000 should be able to capitalise on the lack of competition and allow themselves to prosper in the blitz category. But many who are <2000 at blitz suck at blitz. So why, if no GM plays blitz, do you suck at it?

Seriously though, people all the time underestimate the depth of chess. There are so many levels between some guy rated 1500 and the world champ.
