If the donuts are raised they proof in a box with controlled humidity and by rising, air is incorporated into them. Bagels are a different type of dough, they aren't raised, they are boiled then baked. You can also do cake type donuts which are more dense and not raised, just fried. Hope this helps.

I would say the different types of flours used, liquids added, eggs versus no egg, the way it's mixed (more air in donuts), cooking in oil versus baking/boiling....many variables.
