For IMAP to sync, you have to inspect each folder for changes since the last sync. If there are 100 folders, this is a lot of data to exchange even if there is nothing new.
For JMAP, you can request the list of emails that have changed since the last time you sync'd, regardless of which folder/label they may be in. The number of folders/labels has no impact on how costly it is to sync.
