I think it may be because Túrin has more feelings than Tuor. What did Tuor feel when he fled Gondolin? I don't know, if it was mentioned I can't remember it. What did he feel when the Grey Elves he lived with were killed? I can't remember, if it was written at all. What did he feel when he asked Turgon to marry his daughter? Was he nervous? How much did he love Idril? Much, apparently, but it isn't described that good.
Túrin, on the other hand, has much feelings. Despair. Passion. Doubt. A touch of arrogance. Guilt. A touch of love. More despair. And so on...
Now, the version given in UT gives more flesh to the story of Tuor, but sadly it was never finished.
