probably because it is unbalanced by being connected:

For the entire duration of your discussion, I've seen no treatment for
common mode problems that you have described by various symptoms in
the past. Your complaint of poor performance is a chief indicator.

Other indications have ranged variably from glaring beyond that to not
apparent yet remaining a problem still, as is obvious by the poor gain
performance for all variations.

You already have the solution in the other antenna:
a 1:1 balun and then 50 ohm coax is a solid
performer
provided the BalUn is a W2DU.

Your problem is NOT the antenna!
