They don't do the same thing. Like I said, only addresses listed as 
alias addresses are removed from the list of recipients when replying.

Or in more general terms: alias addresses are treated as personal 
addresses, i.e. the concept of "alias" is used for email addresses that 
deliver emails to exactly one person. On the other hand, addresses that 
are tied to an identity can be group addresses or functional addresses, 
i.e. email addresses that deliver emails to a group of people.
