The most common reason is that because vinyl records don't have a flat response, vinyl has a preempahsis applied to the HF. Sometimes the preemphasis was applied during cutting, sometimes it was applied to the tape master before cutting. When early CDs were pressed, they were often pressed from the vinyl masters and if the preemphasis was on the master, boom, harsh gritty super-over-bright CD.
