Why do I get better results with Qwen Image Edit 4 Step lora than original 20 step?

4 step takes less time and output is being better. Isn't more steps supposed to provide better image? I'm not familiar with this stuff but I thought slower/bigger/more steps would result in better results. But with 4 steps, it creates everything including text and the second image i uploaded accurately compared to 20 where text and the second image i asked for it to include gets distorted
