why are stone talus considered minibosses but lynels aren't?

it just doesn't make sense. the rare stone talus has the most health at 900, but the weakest lynel is 2000. defeating an igneo/frost talus gives 35 xp, but a lynel grants 50+. and even tho u might say "taluses would be frightening for newbies", lynels would be like 10x scarier. so why is this?
