This is because
log_2 ( n^3 ) = 3 log_10 ( n ) / log_10 ( 2 ) = 9.966 log_10 ( n )
because as we know well,
 log_10 ( 2 ) = 0.30103
is very close 3/10.
So when this and 10 log_10 ( n ) are rounded up, it gives often the same as
long as the result is not larger than ~ 10^2, but not beyond that.

For the values of n where A070939(n^3) differs from A004221(n) I find:
