I replaced the aerator in my kitchen sink faucet and now the flow of the sprayer is restricted? (self.plumbing)

The new aerator is 1.5gal/minute. I have no idea what the old one was. When I remove it, flow at the sprayer is much greater. I don't understand how the aerator restricts flow to the sprayer. Is there any way to improve this? 1.5gal was the highest they had at the hardware store

There is but it's at the tip of the faucet. I can't understand why that would restrict flow at the sprayer?

I misunderstood.
