Detailed Solution

This due to the +I-effect with results the alkyl groups pushes more electrons as such N-atom makes the lone pair of electrons more available for sharing with the Lewis acid ( e- pair acceptor). Other reason proposed is that in gaseous phase the alkyl group around the nitrogen atom arranges itself in pyramidal shape making the attack of Hydrogen ion easy and efficient. In Ammonia they is no +I effect as seen in amines.
