What vulnerability of pre-1000 AD Byzantine triremes significantly affected Greek Fire's impact during naval sieges?

The limited range of Greek Fire meant attacking triremes had to ram their targets directly; however, limited maneuverability made them vulnerable because enemy ships could evade, therefore neutralizing the advantage of Greek fire rather than being easily set ablaze at greater distances.
