Thought I should add that I just tried this on Moon+Reader's browser integration with the Calibre Content Server, and unfortunately it has the same behavior (very hard to select text for highlighting).

I'm using a Galaxy Fold 3. This unfortunately makes it quite hard to select text. Perhaps I'll try Firefox as a workaround as well, though it would be nicer to have this fixed.
I have similar experience using Chrome on Android 11 (Pixel 3 XL).
Tried the same things you did, but I would say my hit rate is better than yours.
I find that the length of time it takes to bring the dialog up varies, and sometimes holding for longer than you would expect (3-4 seconds) is required.

But I agree it is finicky and not related to how I am pressing.
