On this particular question, I suspect it's because they have more real world data to go on. FTTx, especially shared amongst multi-dwelling buildings - e.g. GigE to the building, switch in the comms room, 100Mb drop to each dwelling - has been going on much longer, especially so in the Nordics, where they have had this delivery model for ages (the Cisco 10720 was produced exactly for this purpose, using SONET/SDH rings for backhaul, when that was the usual model).
