Hierarchical tags vs. own columns. Whats the difference?

In the help it says:

The problem is that tags ... don’t provide a hierarchy.

I do not understand that. You can specify tags as hierarchical categories in the preferences the same way you can do with any own column.

What's the PROs & CONs or the essential differences between hierarchical columns and hierarchical tags?
Or in other words: what do i get more by using a hierarchical own column like "genre.x.y..." that i do not already have with a tag called "genre.x.y..."?
