Giving money is seen as disrespectful in Japan so they have smaller prize pools

JP government have a specific law on the amount of money that can be used as the prizepool for a video game competition since esports is still viewed as "gambling" among the mainstream Japanese society

It's true that the prizepool is huge, but each players can only received a certain share amount of money unless they have a "Pro Gamer License" which is again another odd part of the JP government law regarding on addressing esports and associating them with gambling activity.

One of the example is this one.

Basically a JP player won 46k dollars but only received 930 dollars since he doesn't have this pro gamer license.
