Now I'm curious, what causes the latency for range requests with R2?

I don't have any insight into this other than observing how their storage system works, but here's some scripts I made last year to test:

Range requests means work and logic. Getting a file requires no logic.

Also, I'm pretty sure range requests are going to be difficult to cache. That implies going to origin every request which is bad.
