I haven't even noticed that.

It's possible that they are able to have more detailed physics operating in these areas because the game doesn't need to be thinking about other players or enemies or all the other things it has to be displaying in larger, busier zones.

According to some...research from a reddit post, the jiggle physics don't function properly if you play the game with unrestricted FPS (This goes for all things affected by them, not just chests).

I personally haven't seen any difference in how they function in crowded/uncrowded areas while running at 60 FPS.
