Because Abby is by her own admission a *bad person desensitized to violence* and Ellie is NOT, she's killed raiders to survive and that's it before she gets to Seattle, so she is vicious and spiteful to cover up that it's not really her

(Which is why in the ending Ellie can get into a standup fight with her and have anything close to a fair chance)

Yeah and relatedly, why are Ellie's kills more "harrowing"? Because Ellie has Strength 10 or so and has to use a switchblade to slit throats, and Abby, like Joel, can just suffocate people in a way that doesn't make us watch blood spurts *because she's a professional killer*
