Why is that?

Why does Orbi sometimes use 20MHz and sometimes 40MHz in 2.4GHz?

It's a "good neighbor" policy required by the WiFi Alliance (that certifies wifi products).   If the router detects another overlapping access point nearby, both systems scale back to 20 MHz.

If you log into the web admin ui, then you can select the "Advanced Tab", and then "Advanced Setup".  The Wireless Settings menu in that section should include a checkbox for "enable 20/40 MHz coexistence".  You can turn that off if you want to disable that policy.

To be clear, the powerwall (or other wifi clients) can still choose to connect at 20 MHz if you do this.  The powerwall doesn't use much bandwidth, and the narrower channel can reduce interference and increase range.

FWIW, I doubt that is the problem.  It is more likely that the 5 Ghz band isn't delivering a solid connection at the powerwall.  That would result in the powerwall switching back and forth.

If the powerwall monitoring is working ok, then you could just leave well enough alone.
