1) Math lecturers have a heavy teaching load from 1st yr and 2nd yr. They don't have time to supervise a lot of students

2) You need to have a strong foundation to successfully learn new topics on your own, so coursework for the first couple of yrs is of more importance.

I think it would be difficult to compare research in Mathematics to say more experimental sciences such as Physics and Chemistry.
