dr_dx you are not missing something
volt drop across a diode is a function of the current through the diode and diode temperature,
at low currents you have little vdrop, as current increases vdrop increases,
if you only use a string of diodes with low current dynamic loads the voltage at the load will swing up and down in an unregulated fashion, at higher currents the voltage becomes more stable
