Lots of mitigating factors, for one, teams who have been active in the past, are tight to the cap and didn't have flexibility to be heavy players in RFA. I also think more teams are realizing that you have to overpay to pry a player in RFA and debating if it's worthwhile.
I know I set Knox and Patterson on the higher range of their tag values to discourage bidding. Almost set Godwin to a tag for 1200, which likely would have meant no bids on him either seeing as he sold for 1100. In the end I got him for 100 less than the tag I debated giving him.
