Just wondering the exact same thing

It depends on the strain
Some seeds are smaller, some are larger
Some seeds are smaller, some are larger
Thers got to be more to it then that Goauto even some of my smaller beans I made are bigger than the originals & its not often I do things right 
less seeds made per plant means more nutrition for each seed than a 'seed crop'......

one thing i noticed over the years is maybe not always , but commonly , a hermie pollinated plant produces larger seeds then a male pollinated plant of the same strains
not to say you used hermie pollin , just throwing that out there

The first time I made seeds it was a cross of female purple jem with male diesel ryder and the seeds were twice the size of the parent seeds. That crossing was my first and I picked the plant to early and only 1 seed survived so I crossed it with a lowryder#1 cuz I liked the bud formation and smell of it I also crossed the low 1 with another low 1 and again big seeds both plants I also had a bad germ rate with both of them. Now I have Blue Himalaya diesel X Blue Himalayadiesel and Blue Himalaya diesel X Lowryder #1 and all my seeds are bigger. I made sure my seeds are mature this time,dried good and now have them in the refrigerator and just started soaking a BHDF2 a few hours ago along with another strain to see if my BHD is any good.
I think alot has to do with of course the maturity but also higher temps and lower rh memories from the mother passing on alittle extra to the babies in form of thicker walls to survive in the conditions better
bob pointed out the corellation in his experience and i would point to that as an example
alot of hermmies are brought on as a stress trait to higher conditions which alot of times lowers rh
so the mother is passing on her memories in of the conditions she faced
really this could take a micrometer to guage in some cases
but seeds grown in continuous "perfect conditions" indoor have shown to loose the resistances they once had as a land based runner

this is a good addition "perfect conditions" of a loving parent are going to also atribute to the mix a person growing for personal use could very well leave their seeds to mature for a couple weeks longer than a seed crop easily
probably more often than not
not saying they aren't mature enough to grow but if you really think about it it makes more "cents" than not
