I think that has to do with the whole everyone (very few aren't) is a commoner/npc class thing that the game assumes. They also tend to assume you build most of the world on the 13, 12, 11, 10, 9, 8 (Or 3 point buy) with people that are supposed to match your characters in ability being built on 15, 14, 13, 12, 10, 8 (Or 15 point buy).
With that kept in mind, the stats they give you are appropriately described by them. If instead you go with everyone is a PC class, with the same point buy as the characters, then you'll find that it seems off.
