Why do some cars lose acceleration when the A.C is on?

Like in my 2007 Versa Sedan SL, I have to turn the AC off when merging on the highway otherwise it feels like driving a Ford Model T.

But my 2010 Odyssey, and 2017 Rogue can drive perfectly with the AC on. Heck on the Rogue I can drive on ECO and still merge fine on the highway.
