Is this really that surprising?

Postgres is a RDMS, with transactional support and everything. While Redis is powerful, it is much simpler and focused, not nearly as comprehensive as Postgres.

TL;DR Postgres is doing a lot more heavy-lifting than Redis, it feels slow because that much of work is not necessary for simple kv lookup
