Because Approval, like WV, is directly interested in how many voters vote
a certain way, while Margins uses an indirect measure.
For a criterion, consider votes-only Minimal Defense: When more than half
of the voters rank X above Y and don't rank Y above anyone (and, I assume,
they approve X and don't approve Y), RAV never elects Y, just as WV won't
elect Y.
So I guess Margins is "more fair" (Russ' sense) than RAV.
