To a degree you're absolutely right. There's really not much difference. But then after you get used to working one way, you start realizing that if you just had this one little tool or made a small alteration to an existing tool, you could trim some minutes off your work. This is where masks can be of benefit to those who have pretty much mastered many techniques using layers.
Try not to swirl your thought processes too much. Just get good with one method until you're ready to move on. That's what I'm doing.
