GGD;
It's the "deck" height, and having to lift things over the "lip" of the Prius cargo area to get them in and out, vs the unobstructed flat rear of the Pathfinder.
Now, props where it's due, the Prius is significantly better than some other vehicles, but still not as good as many SUV's in that particular respect. Loading various boxes, crates, computers, printers, cases, etc etc.. in and out a lot, and lifting stuff over that "hump" gets old quick.
