A typical WordPress page is 80 to 120 KB of markup wrapped around a few KB of words. The rest is the header, the footer, menus, scripts, inline SVG icons and the theme's own wrappers. A browser needs all of it. A reader that pays by the token pays for all of it and uses almost none of it.
The plugin builds a second representation from the post itself, not from the rendered page. Ask for it with a header and the same URL answers with text.
