The “difference” is that either SKU above does not contain a [Flex] Feature

basically without some Feature License tied the HW SN via some Flex Feature
License, it is a good boat anchor!

This change in how MX and other Juniper products has been driven by Stock
Analysist and other vendors. “I don’t make the news, I just report it”
I can believe this.
If other vendors are dumping honor-based or perpetual licenses, it would
be commercially silly to not follow suit.
Kind of like what Broadcom have done since picking up VMware, and
telling customers to move to subscription-based billing in lieu of
perpetual licenses.
