This is different because being able to copying files does require:
When you flash an image, you flash all of the partitions, file systems, files in the file system that were existing on the drive/eMMC/USB key/SD card the image was created from.
Bottom line, you cannot copy files on a blank drive/eMMC/USB key/SD card, but you can write an image into it.
