ELI5: Why is deep frying so much faster than baking?

Whenever I bake f.e. potatoes (even thinly sliced) it takes so much more time than if I would deep fry them. What is the reason? I've read that the temperature of deep frying is about 100C more than in an oven, but that can't be the only reason, can it?

Heat transfers faster through liquids then through gasses. You can be in a sauna without any harm to your body, but if you get covered with boiling water for a few minuites you at best will be covered in scar tissue and in pain for the rest of your life.
