I think it's because in Terminator 2, the human face is not CGI, it's just Patrick's face filmed. (or when it is, it's not skin-toned, it's silver or checker-boarded). The Tarkin CGI is much more ambitious, because it simulates facial movements and expressions (and lighting).

Good point. Transforming or manipulating a filmed image is a different process from creating one from whole cloth.
