Because they didn't count the treasures (in Empire of Cats), that increase XP.

For example, in the late stages in Stories of Legend, the official XP you get (on the paper) is around 4000. But when you beat the stage, you get at least 10 000 XP, thanks to these treasures.

Now, why do we write the XP without treasure instead of the XP with all the treasures? Just because in the game files, they write the XP you gain without treasure. And we don't know if PONOS will boost the treasure effectiveness like they did in the past, so it's easier, we don't have to change these values with each update.
