Right. I was expecting this behavior for the keyboard. Polyphonic aftertouch (pressure sensitive per key) keyboards exist, but they are very rare.
However, when drum pads claim to be pressure sensitive, I expect it to be per pad. And on the MPK49 it is, as long as you set each pad to a separate channel. This wasn't the out of the box behavior so it threw me off at first.
