this sounds absurd but i'm on a bike slack with some crust adjascent people and it was earnestly a mistake between the protoype and the production, it comes up every week or two there
it's believed the difference is caused/ assumed to be, having mis match brakes with varying drops, so when they calculated the numbers on adjustment between the run and the prototype, how much space they added between the tyre and the caliper was different
or to that effect
it's a mistake, but they've never addressed it, some say because it doesn't matter, some say it's because they do not care
