Why does this happen in equilibrium?

From solvers I’ve seen these patterns consistently but can’t work out the reason.
1) offsuit hands slowplaying more than suited. Eg QT on Txx BTN v BB SRP
(if they have a backdoor flush draw obvs there’s more equity but I mean when this isn’t the case)
2) top/bottom 2 pair slowplays the most on the flop, like if it faces a cbet this 2pair doesn’t raise as much as the others

I've noticed 1 and I've never really cared enough to investigate it, it really doesn't matter. I imagine it has to do with suited no bdfd unblocking dominated bdfd that can continue but again I don't really care.
2 I think has to do with the fact that you block good continues and it gets counterfeited a lot. Bottom 2 gets counterfeited but unblocks continues and top 2 blocks continues but is not counterfeited often.

Good points, thanks!
