Wtf is this? Why are the colors not the same number for both maps?

Probably to better highlight the local differences for both areas. The entire scale is significantly higher for the bottom map.

But the colours should reflect that. This map makes it seem like people in China and India work same hours like some European countries.

yeah lol, they could have just picked new colors for the new bottom bins and it would be objectively better without tradeoffs
