Some reasons could be: 
• They didn't suffer fools on Twitter and so were often rude to people, winning super-fans and super-enemies.
• The situation is different (civil/criminal) and maybe beating csw was more important to more people than beating usg. Sad. 
• They had a business that had a good revenue stream for years, meaning they probably have bigger stacks than the average pleb. Whereas the space cat was just a regular pleb when it all kicked off. 

I'm not sure if any of these are true though.
