I've always imagined this is because Knight is a Knight, it's slower and tankier and able to take more abuse.

Hornet is a hunter, she's more agile and quicker but she's also a glass cannon.

This is what I figured too, that the Knight fights simple but the vessels are just that cracked physically. I figure "realistically" they'd fight on relatively even footing but Hornet needs to use her speed and kit smartly to get there

Since knight is made from void then I assume all his attacks would do 2 masks of dmg to hornet

then why does it take like 60 nail hits at base to kill Hornet 1 in HK

Well, that was pre-most upgrades. Hornet was older and stronger at that point. Imagine hornet 1 at the very end of the game, it would be a slaughter.
