The majority of mangas that we see are published officially, hence why they have an editor.
In return, a lot of these manhuas are online ones, hence probably no editor for it. It doesn’t help that often they’re adaptations trying to catch on to the original (webnovels, who often also don’t have editors as they’re self published). And then translated too. Each layer just diminishes the quality.
The other part is, in my own opinion (and assumptions), just that the Manhua culture isn’t as prolific in China as it is in Japan and thus lacks things like knowledge/practice on flow/panelling. But for “weird hair and anatomy”, that’s up to the individual artist. I’ve seen so many manga artists with bad anatomy and weird hair too, but I guess there’s less simply because of quality control with a publisher vs webcomics.
