Pi Pico W: what is the practical difference between RUN and 3V3_EN pins?

Pi Pico W datasheet states: 3V3_EN connects to the on-board SMPS enable pin, and is pulled high (to VSYS) via a 100kΩ resistor. To disable the 3.3V (which also de-powers the RP2040), short this pin low. and RUN is the RP2040 enable pin, and has…
