Unlike solvers that can be programmed to choose from multiple sizes and multiple sub-ranges ("range-splitting" I think it's called) in order to marginally increase total EV, Snowie chooses one size that maximises the average EV of the range/strategy. It chooses a single size that works best for its range, not just one hand.
While it could increase the EV of JJ by betting bigger, some of the other hands in the range would lose EV if they also bet big, so Snowie picks the size that gets the best average.
I think a closer approximation of a GTO strategy would balance several sizing strategies (with a slightly different range for each size) and use them at different frequencies. e.g. Sometimes bet small, sometimes big and sometimes huge, but always balanced.
