I'm thinking this bike has a lot sees a lot of dirt or road spray. If you have an external cam like the ones pictured above, then grit and dirt can become caught inbetween the surfaces making it feel like it is really tight, when it is actually the debris preventing the cam device from closing properly. Internal cam QRs are superior.
