Why is it that when I set my thermostat to 73° F in the winter it is comfortable. However, 73° F in the summer feels uncomfortably hot? Shouldn’t the same temperature feel the same indoors in a controlled environment (via the thermostat)?

Two factors:
1 – The temperature of where you’re sitting is warmer or colder than the temperature of where the thermostat is sitting.
2 – Furnace heat reduces humidity in your house, making you feel cooler at the same temperature of a humid summer day.
