I think that's because Abe's Exoddus was a "bonus game" that wasn't really planned in advance and seemed to be conceived and developed within 9 months. In the interviews for SoulStorm Lanning is addressing this, though. As in he's talking about the game having "twice the gameplay, half the heart". There are ideas in Exoddus that they want to expand and develop but not to the extent that there was in MO - which was supposed to be the next big Oddworld installment.
