Is it the fact that we're not logically omniscient about our own minds, or is it something deeper?

Well, there's certainly that. Also, human algorithms for decision-making can feel different from simply looking up a utility - the algorithm can be something more like a "treasure map" for locating morality, looking out at the world in a way that can feel as if morality was a light shining from outside.
