What’s the distinction you’re drawing here? I don’t know the implementation details, but my understanding is that it’s fundamentally exactly the same thing: the map is rendered by the browser/client using lines and polygons, rather than loading pre-rendered tiled images.

I think vector tiles normally have a degree of style independence that normal vector graphic don’t?
I think with e.g. SVG the colours, text positioning and font etc. would all be specified when the file was created.
