I think its likely individual adaptations to different climates may be sufficient to explain the differences noted.

Not to mention the fact that every long distance runner in the world that's worth their salt goes to sleep in an oxygen tent these days to mimic high altitude training to increase the concentration of red blood cells.

We are a product of our environment and can adapt to it extremely quickly. Alby is a douche. End of story.
