That's just down to sloppy finishing as there's no consistency.

On plastic bodied instruments the amount of lateral play between pillars should ideally be relative to the lengths of the key rods or barrels. With main action keys mounted on rods, this is a near impossible thing to compensate for as there are several keys sharing the same rod. But there are developments in keys mounted on individual rods or between points were one end of the rod or point can move laterally in the pillar without the key binding up. But that's expensive to do.

As quality control is minimal on the majority of Chinese owned factories (as opposed to Chinese plants owned by outside companies), these things get overlooked as long as it will meet the minimum standard to be boxed up and shipped out of the factory.
