Question Baggage Allowance

If I travel longhaul, say to Florida, there is a substantial difference in my baggage allowance. A scheduled carrier will let me carry up to 64kgs, whereas a charter will restrict me to 20kgs.

I can't see that this difference is purely to do with the difference in the number of pax carried, so do the charters deliberately set a lower gross weight purely to lower the cost of fuel used? Or do the charters have some sort of freight deal on the side?

Just curious.
