It's one of the few sports where the replay has no ambiguity. Other sports not even the commentators can 100% guess how a challenge will go.

I believe the term instant replay refers to the ability to replay an "instant" or "moment" of action, not that the process can be done instantly.pic.twitter.com/ln9xVDk3xI

Watching baseball recently I came to the conclusion that the home plate umpire in fact slows the game. We can know almost instantly if a pitch is a ball or strike.

Is it because it is executed so quickly (within the normal break between points)? Or is it because there's nothing else to confirm/adjust (like a game clock)? Or just because it is such a b&w call?

Sure. A sport that slow has lots of time for instant replay. Tennis is like flying a strategic bomber; long periods of boredom and short periods of excitement that go by so fast you miss them. So instant replay, yea...
