The non-ninja hand seal speed is based on experience whereas for ninja it is based on their rank. Quite honestly, for ninja, that makes little sense to me as someone’s proficiency is determined by their expertise and training rather than the rank they have achieved as a ninja. Experience determines chakra pool so why can it not determine the hand seal speed for ninja? Someone does not have to be a chuunin or jounin to move their hands at a more rapid rate.
Of course there should be an incentive to rank up, but limiting the hand seal speed by rank seems somewhat extreme due to chuunin exams occurring only every 6 IC months. There are already other benefits for rising up in ranks such as ANBU and the higher rank missions.
Further, the way the rank system is provides no drawbacks whatsoever for taijutsu users whereas ninjutsu users are limited by an event that occurs every few months. It would be as if limiting the amount of strikes someone can perform by their ability to pass some test rather than their training and physical abilities.
There are ways to deal with the slower hand seal speed, such as by picking up hyper sealing, but why should a shinobi have to make such a choice when taijutsu users or non-ninja do not suffer from the same?
