It's probably like comparing Catholics vs. Protestants, with the Western university/media ecosystem (the "cathedral") in the place of the Catholic Church's hierarchy. Of course Catholics will have less variance on theology because they adhere to the centralized organization's precepts.
1 The internet and podcast ecosystem larger for the right along with having a greater influence on actual policy through the Trump Admin in relation the left uses more traditional media democrat party politics which have higher barriers to entry selecting for more 'reasonable' and heterodox thinkers
2 The Christian right has very different social beliefs from the libertine 'business right' and techbro podcast right you have very few secular rightest who are anti gay marriage abortion etc
3 Trump realigned the party significantly split between the pro Trump MAGA and the large anti Trump reluctant republican voter
4 Leftism is predicated on care harm morality the right comprises a a combination of all other foundations
5 More residual consistent voter blocks for the democrats union workers, black community, graduates who vote democrat no matter what
I think part of it is definitional. Most members of the Left believe that anyone who disagrees with them is on the Right. They lump in Moderates, Libertarians, Christians, and many other disparate groups into the same label. What is called “the Right” is actually just a large group of people who are only unified by opposition to the Left.
1. Leftism ideologically (you can def. psychologize this) is an affinity for equality, whether the equality is natural (and deviations are unnatural and immoral) or should be imposed. Whereas right-wing ideology is based on order, the ordering of society (towards some higher transcendental) and the members therein, implying also some sort of hierarchy. So, you naturally get more diversity in the right-wing because the ordering can differ, whereas the equality of leftism only allows one outcome. It's basically the two possible endings in Neon Genesis Evangelion.
2. Left-wingers are in power, specifically a small subset of united leftists, and those in power work as a center of gravity anchoring leftist ideology.

You should try playing with the ANES study data.

It is what psychologists call “splitting.”

I made this observation over 30 years ago. I don’t think this is a new development.
