Eli5 why does the flush sensor on a touchless toilet go off and splash my butt at the slightest movement while I’m sitting down, but the touchless sensor on a sink won’t turn on unless I’m in JUST the right spot?

Engineer here, but I do not work in the industry that makes these. But my buddy owns a plumbing company and I asked him this one day over dinner.

He said mainly its plumbers that don’t want to take the time or read the directions how to adjust them properly. They usually just install and go, or leave it to the apprentices.
