Different times and different situation.

In that case Peugeot had wanted Burns for years, whereas Tanak left Toyota who have won 5 Manufacturer titles without him.

Plus Toyota still has 3 drivers going for the 2025 WDC and wont distract any of them by openly discussing contracts with a new driver.
