I don't get it either, is it literally the same thing a a a clone with a different name?

  No, this does not preserve the history of the repo, just gives a single commit with the existing files. You might also think of this as cloning, then squashing down the entire history (well, everything in master anyways) to a single (root) commit.

    Maybe I remember incorrectly, but I thought the template came from the default branch?

  Templates are a copy of a non empty word document Cloning is a word document with versions turned on that copied all the previous versioning information
