One simple reson is that The Silm covers more years than LotR [ discounting the appendices] does days.
Check out UT for much, more on Turin's sad lovelife.
In general I find there is more of everything in the Silmarillion except for 2 things:
-hobbit's [ oh well]
-detail [ and JRRT was actually working on that from the time he finished the LotR on.]
