When I'm already on a laptop with a small screen, tiling only makes each app fight for screen estate. With Scrolling WMs, it's not an issue because it's just like switching to the second monitor by moving your mouse over to the other app. Now imagine instead of 2 monitors side-by-side, you could have infinite monitors. Not just side-by-side, what about stacked? Scrolling WMs come with vertical workspaces too! You can still use a Scrolling WM to tile everything the way you would on a Tiling WM and that is where it shines. It's a fantastic solution to the screen estate problem, which tiling managers struggle with. You're right that they are a bit different but I personally don't see the need for tiling when Scrolling WMs provide the same functionality (vertical and horizontal tiling + workspaces) as well :D
