They usually run the tyres at least 20psi too high.
Even at BPW it’s rare that they’ll set the air sprigs to the customer’s weight.
I think they assume that if they customer knows it needs to done, the customer will do it, and if they don’t know it needs to done, the customer won’t notice anyway. Which is probably true.

It's possible that the front end feels odd, as the suspension on a hire bike won't be set up just right for you. A small adjustment in air pressure can make the difference between the front wheel feeling planted, and becoming a wandering mess.
Among other things, such as tyre pressure, bar height, lack of coaching, and not being a Jeffsy.
