The basic difference is that, although both consume a license, the web service call does not record a session in the session table. Thus, an access using /apigateway does not compete with other web service calls for the same user, as none of them will record an active session. However, if there is only one simultaneous user in the license and there is another user logged into the suite viewing a portal, for example, the web service calls will return error 403, since there is a user consuming the only truly available section.
