Is normal, 16-50 is light wide to light tele , that's the difference. Image stabilisation seem to like a narrow angle of view.

50° angle of view difference compared to 20° is optically better by design.

That's why the 50-150 and 50-200 are so good. Both optically at all focal lengths and for image stabilisation.

Rules of physics.

There is nothing about physics that restricts image stabilization in 16-50. Apparently my signma art 24-120 doesn't know rules of physics.

Stabilization on my 16-50 is worse than on 18-55 and worse than on 16-50 3.5-5.6.

And no, 50-200 is not a "so good". I have 3 of them, and each is very good at 50mm and not  good at 200mm.
