It is because you never really practice talking with Duolingo. I am quite good at reading French now, though.

If you are, that's actually quite an achievement and good. If you're talking about French outside of Duolingo, that is.

I do not normally hear of people getting to reading fluency through Duolingo.

Well you can't practice producing unconstrained sentences. Only with their very narrow training-wheels.
