It has to do with how many tournaments are on the surfaces.
Hard - 50%
Clay - 40%
Grass - 10%
It's easier to dominate grass because it's a super specialist surface. Hardest to dominate hardcourts due to the near ubiquity of the events on tour, so Federer's achievements there are almost equivalent to me.
