They are not supposed to. For a specified codec, different encoder
settings will give vastly different encoding time and output file size,
but the promise of CRF is that the same CRF should yield the same visual
quality.

And in my experience, that promise is mostly kept.

On the other hand, it is important to remember that CRF is local: higher
resolution with the same CRF will give better quality because artifacts
of the same magnitude will just be displayed smaller in comparison to
the whole screen.

And different codecs definitely have different scales.
