Wind charge launchers will propel the player a varied distance depending on their current gamemode. In survival, this number is roughly 165. In creative, it can reach upwards of 265.
In previous versions (1.21.3), the launched height for survival mode was as high as creative (roughly around 160-170 blocks)
Steps to Reproduce:

As far as I have tested, the launch height is different each time I use the launcher, regardless if I am in creative or survival. Maybe this has something to do with the exact manner (location and speed) with which I entered the launcher. Also, in survival you receive damage from the wind charges which might play a part.
