What’s the difference?

In the legal version you need to find someone to lend you the shares which costs money. The more you borrow the more expensive it gets. So the transaction volume is quite limited. If you're shorting naked none of this applies so you can sell as much as you want (until the trade settles and you need to cover - or you just don't and laugh at the buyers some more).
