Utterly confused by presets, physical printers and prusaconnect/link

Can someone help me make sense of this?  I have no idea what the difference is between a user preset and a physical printer.  And why do I have to add a new physical printer to use PrusaConnect?

But really, the main thing I want to know is why does the button next to "Export G-Code" change if I select the locked "Original Prusa i3 MK3" profile vs the same printer I set up as a "Physical printer"?   On the original profile, the button says "Send to connect" and it loads the connect UI where I can select these options:

Set ready and Print Now

Add to print queue

Only copy to printer

Schedule delayed start

 

But on the physical printer preset, the button in that space just changes to a stylized G and the options I have are:
Upload

Upload and print

 

 

I think Prusaslicer needs a simplification of this convoluted process.
