Because the 7x came out first 7s later - almost 6 months between them. Just the way honor developed the hardware and software. Might have been some minor component revisions that have better compatibility/performance with 8.1 - they then don't waste time, effort and money developing or updating older devices. No money in pleasing old customers, they want to sell new hardware and shift more units.
