It's how the program's coded. Why the graphic's card not used in windowed mode is beyond my knowledge.
Basically, a graphics card has usually a control panel where you tell how many times it will be refreshing the image (FPS), and will not calculate faster than that (less overheat, use of energy, waste of time if the screen doesn't show more than 75 fps etc.). You can, however, remove this so it calculates the max fps it manages to.
A computer processor would not follow these rules and will just force out the max fps it manages unless the program is programmed for a max fps.
