My understanding is that these commercial terminals tend to be focused on emulating non-standard terminals used by by systems like IBM mainframes, etc. which are in no way VT100 compatible.
I believe that these products are also optimized for allowing non-technical staff to use old 'greenscreen' terminal UI applications. These products usually have features like macros for commonly-used sequences of key-combos, and they also do things like figuring out if the screen is showing a menu, and turning the menu entries into something that can be clicked by a mouse so it isn't entirely keyboard driven.
For a dev and/or ops person on a modern Linux system, there's almost certainly no reason to look into this stuff.
