Because they rebalanced opponent levels to compensate for the new way exp is distributed in gen 6.
>gen 1: A Pokemon always gives the same total exp. If more than 1 Pokemon battles, exp is divided evenly between them. Exp All takes away half of that total before it's divided up, and splits it between everybody, but due to buggy code it loses some of it.
>gen 2: Same deal, but Exp Share replaces Exp All, and takes away half of the total exp and gives it to whoever is holding the Exp Share. If you've obtained multiple Exp Shares by trading, it splits the shared half of the exp between the ones holding them. The total exp added up between everybody who battled plus Exp Share holders always equals the amount you would've gotten if 1 Pokemon had battled. (Not taking "boosted" exp for traded pokes or Lucky Eggs into account. That boost is applied after the dividing up.)
>gen 5: After being divided up, the exp received by each poke is scaled based on relative levels of it and what was fainted. Otherwise it's the same. Received exp may be increased or reduced this way, and is identical to previous gens if the Pokemon are the same level.
>gen 6+: If multiple Pokemon battled, each one gets 100% of the exp that a single battler would have gotten. Switching during a battle now doubles the total exp received instead of splitting up the same total. If Exp Share is active, everybody who didn't battle also receives 50% of the exp they would've gotten by battling. There's more total exp, but opponent levels haven't been adjusted to compensate since apparently that change was made relatively late in development, making the game easier. You can't turn off the boost from switching so even if you turn off Exp Share, 6 is easier.
>gen 7: Opponent levels are now adjusted so the game isn't so easy even with the modern style exp, especially if you turn off Exp Share.
