Can someone explain to me what is the difference between whatever they added new and creating several PRs and "stacking" them by pointing one branch to another

Can someone explain to me what is the difference between whatever they added new and creating several PRs and "stacking" them by pointing one branch to another via the Github UI? I've always done that. Is it just a nice UI on top of that? Sure merging with one single button is nice but I rarely do that, if I'm stacking PRs it's because I probably want to merge gradually.

It's for people who don't understand long lived branches.

Maybe it matters if you do not have the right to push to the main repo but still want both your PRs to live there. Is there a way to do that without stacked PRs?
