Probably because in a Spit you have things like 10 times the HP of a Camel,speeds are exponentially higher and last but not least enoug torque to rip the Camel's wings off the fuselage..

Camels were nasty machines nonetheless,very unforgiving at low speeds and like most of the planes powered by rotary engines they had dangerous autorotation tendency..
