Because not all 1200 rating puzzles are often that easy and we often tend to think "Ah, the puzzle is so low rated, it must be easy" and we fall into a rather obvious trap.
The fair mix of missing a 1200 tactic and spotting a 2000 tactic is the reason why the overall tactics rating tends to balance out to around 1800.
Tactics are odd like that.
I Use Chess King, and have a dickens of a time trying to solve the 1900 level "Combinations 1" problems, but can switch to the Mate-in-3 or 4 module and do 2 or 3 problems and make up for lost points. None of those mate problems seem like they're over the ability of a player over 1300 on chess.com.
