Can someone explain why this is the case?

Actually, the range of the MG42 MMG is twice that of the MG42 LMG. The weapon itself is the same, same rate of fire. With the more stable tripod, you will be able to apply the same firepower at twice the range, which implies the extra accuracy gained from the tripod mount.
The ammo load is slightly higher for the MG 42 MMG, but it is still reduced to what the crew (3 men/gun) can carry.
The practical rate of fire of the MMG would not be any higher than the LMG. For example, firing continously would still require you to swap barrels every 250 rounds or so.
