Giving 18 energy absorption gives her an additional connection to Captain Marvel, and DB has a history of giving some Combatants non-canon stuff. And also, 18 doesn't need it to win because she can still dodge whatever Carol throws at her.

Binary is the only thing Carol has that could actually overpower 18, because Base Carol < 18, but 18 would probably not give Carol what she needs to even attain Binary
