It's probably mostly the cost to fetch and decompress the very wide json
field. jsonb is pretty quick at finding an object key once it's got
the value available to look at.
You could possibly alleviate some of the speed issue by storing the column
uncompressed (see ALTER TABLE ... SET STORAGE EXTERNAL), but that would
bloat your disk space requirements so I'm not really sure it'd be a win.
