Lots of reasons. He's reading off a teleprompter rather than having to think on his feet. It's a lower pressure situation than a debate. And people in cognitive decline often have big variations in their lucidity depending on the situation.
Last night wasn't necessarily the "real" Biden; it was probably him at his worst. But no seasoned politician with their full faculties would perform that poorly in a debate regardless of the context, and when you're projecting how he'll be 2-4 years from now, particularly in high-pressure situations, it's pretty grim.
