We went to a few shows this past winter, and noticed the same thing in several brand new units--the floor felt weirdly soft. Almost as if there was padding under the vinyl.
Might be just that. If you take a look at the flooring department of a big box store, you will see that a lot of the newer, trendy, vinyl sheet goods are thick and spongy, essentially having a built in padding. I'm not a fan, especially once you see somebody move a kitchen fridge a few inches before they realize that they gouged the floor and are pulling it like taffy.
Yes, I have that type of vinyl in my home bathroom. The TT floors felt different, like the padding was thicker, but more firm. After this discussion, I think it was exactly what you guys are talking about, just a very lightweight construction job.
