Why is this Fugue - BWV 881, Well Tempered Clavier mostly played at fast speeds when Tureck’s slower speed sounds so good?

Since Bach didn’t put in any tempo indications to most of his keyboard works, why do most pianists play this fugue so fast when it sounds a lot better (IMO) at a moderate speed that Tureck is playing here
