Different responsibilities/expectations between a 4-3 DE and a 3-4 DE. In the 4-3, you're expected to be the primary pass rusher for your team.

Same reason why Manny Lawson getting 2 sacks with the Bengals as a 4-3 OLB was okay, but if he got that as a 3-4 OLB, it'd be awful.

It's a bit rough of a stat, but if you look at the Pro Football Reference page for Justin Smith, you can see where his AV (Approximate Value) went from 50 in 7 years with the Bengals to 83 in 7 years with the 49ers.
