Rudder Sensitivity

Previous posts state that the A300 rudder sensitivity and pedal load is increased deliberately with speed ( as well as the travel limit being reduced). However, the aileron sensitivity is effectively reduced with speed by 'locking' the outer ailerons.

Can anyone explain why this is so? I fly light aircraft and this seems counter-intuative to me.
