Watts are watts but generally RPE is higher inside because of heat stress (dunno the data but you'd need a fucking huge fan to replicate outside riding), the turbo lag effect (sorry Fast and Furious) as danb says and comfort, because you're often locked into a very static position and don't move around as much as you would on the road, which can cause issues on longer rides.
