I believe this effect is more pronounced with a grand piano, but the same thing can happen with an upright piano too.

A decent-quality digital piano (with weighted keys) has the same “problem,” on purpose.
A cheap electronic “keyboard” is easier (but less musically expressive) in that way.
(What’s really interesting are some of the more exotic electronic keyboards that have features like touch sensors so you can do vibrato, and stuff like that.)
