Why is runs against an earlier tiebreaker than run differential? I put more value in run differential because it takes into account both offense and defense.

Probably to force teams to use their best pitchers in the first round in fear of this tiebreaker situation.
This hurts shallower teams and benefits deeper teams that have no fear of exhausting their supply of arms early in the tourney.
