Because they have a faster release of energy which causes them to slow down quicker.
The twitch actually refers to the fatiguability of the fiber. So, fast twitch do produce more force, but tire 'fast'er than slow twitch, which are 'slow'er to fatigue

There are fast twitch muscles fibers in all of your muscles, especially in your legs.
People who possess a high percentage of fast twitch muscles will generally be quicker, faster, and able to jump higher than people with a lower percentage of fast twitch muscles.
Fast-twitch fibers can deliver a quick burst of power.Slow-twitch fibers can maintain a contraction for a longer time! -Apex :]
There are two broad types of voluntary muscle fibers: slow twitch and fast twitch. Slow twitch fibers contract for long periods of time but with little force while fast twitch fibers contract quickly and powerfully but fatigue very rapidly.
Our bodies are made up of different types of muscle fibers, all of which rely on different energy systems. Slow twitch fibers, as the name suggests, contract more slowly than fast twitch muscle fibers and they can contract for a longer period of time. We often call these 'endurance' muscles because they're great for aerobic activities that require endurance like running, cycling and swimming. In general, many of us will have about 50% slow twitch fibers and 50% fast twitch fibers, although it will differ between individuals. Successful long-distance runners will often have more slow twitch fibers while sprinters or bodybuilders will often have more fast twitch fibers. Strength training in different rep ranges (from 4-16) will allow you to work different muscle fibers and energy systems in your body.

Fast-twitch muscle fibers.
Yes Such as in weight traning if you train your fast twitch you will recover faster but fast is more muscle strength not really size if your looking for size in muscles go with slow twitch
They contract very quickly
