The short answer is that the technologies access the channel differently
(for instance, Wi-Fi backs off to Wi-Fi at -82 dBm or lower), and there
were many studies conducted on varying the LAA energy detection
threshold to achieve the desired fairness properties. There is a lot of
literature on this topic in the form of 3GPP RAN1 contributions during
2015 calendar year (3GPP contributions are publicly available; see for
instance R1-152936).
