If you look at the numbers, then the compressed sizes of the USB images are
essentially the same as the ISO images.

The reason is quite simple: the content is the same in both cases, and is
compressed
already. The USB image, however, has a reasonable amount of padding - and
the padding
compresses away almost completely.
