It might come down to the training program. UAL does flap 5 take offs in both the 757 and the 767 (with much reduced tail clearance on the 767 takeoff). All with very few tail strikes. I can remember doing sims where we practiced the takeoff rotation rate over and over just to prevent tail strikes.
Not saying one company does everything right, however one company may have a small part of doing training that saves tail strikes in the end.
