If dodging bullets based on eye movement was something everyone can do IRL, everyone would be dodging bullets and it'd become a mundane and normal ability. Obviously IRL people don't in fact have just suddenly have the ability to dodge bullets by eye-reading (or else dying in gun duels wouldn't be a thing), so it's not as though what Kirito did isn't worthy of note.
In a gunfight, the first instinct most people have is to look at where the weapon is pointing since it's the move visible indicator of where a weapon is aimed at. It takes very perceptive and level-minded people who can keep their calm when the bullets start flying to even think of trying to look at someone in the eyes to see where they're shooting at. Even then, you don't see militaries and police being taught to dodge bullets via eye movement (and the latter are the same people who offer courses on reading body expression to determine whether someone is lying), they're taught that when a firefight starts, you
take cover.
