It doesn't make a huge amount of sense to have the engines so different mechanically, but in terms of cams and tuning, it's very important, even on models that are outwardly similar but in different weight classes.
I can only imagine that it's a cost thing on the Element. Using the older tune to save money versus upgrading to the current CR-V spec. Hyundai-Kia pulled a similar thing with the older Soul variants.
