Or at least they were to me, in any case calling one subject easy and another one hard is pretty silly. Different people have vastly differing experiences of each one and factors like teacher skill come into it too, the whole idea of comparing them in general is foolish.*

Because languages are more 'specialist' and are generally done by people who 'enjoy' doing them and are actually quite good at them. The number of people who did A level maths at school was scores, the number of people who did German 4. 50% of our class got A's, I'm sure Maths had a lower number. The workload for a language is staggeringly less, as if you did well at GCSE, most of the work has already been done. My teachers in both subjects were excellent.
