It's a different kind of wire with higher electrical resistance than what's inside the walls.
Short version:
14 gauge = safely handle 13-15 amps depending on length
12 gauge = 15-20 (same as a modern home outlet)

With two cables of matching outer diameter, one solid and one stranded, the stranded one would have slightly less copper / lower area, but that's not how gauge is measured.
If you can measure a difference in resistance between same length, same gauge stranded and Romex, the stranded is either truly 14 gauge, or cheaper copper-plated aluminum vs. solid copper (~50% higher resistance).
Less likely to be issues with voltage drop over the distance. Even though this is a very short cord, I am betting most will be use to break out other extension cords so a 12g would be the best choice.
I have a few 3 plug whips like this in 12g but I thought a 6 plug version would be a nice to have.
