Anyone can just start out as a defender, so you end up with a huge range of skill (and incomes). You need some level of skill to get a job with crown, and you will get fired if you are bad at the job. So there's a minimum skill level in crown you don't see in defence.
It's more of a difference in personality types, more than anything. I meet a of skilled crown lawyers, who obviously don't have the personally type to be a defence lawyer.
