and also tell me why the same reason is not valid when we talk about
H2SO4 and H2SO3
or
HNO3 and HNO2

Is it easier to find someone else on your floor of your dorm, or is it easier to go to the Greek house all the way across campus to find a dinner buddy? Intramolecular reactions (of any kind, Claisen/aldol, esterification, SN2, epoxide opening) tend to happen faster than intermolecular reactions (with the ring size caveats noted above).
