This is a meaningless distinction. It's like saying two files with idential content and checksum are different because one file was written by Vim and the other by Emacs.

The law can and does make this sort of distinction.
I don't see what IP law has to do with nutrition.

The law can, if it chooses, make a distinction between on the one hand a plant with a genome produced by non-GMO methods and on the other hand a plant with the same exact genome produced with GMO methods. The law regularly chooses to pay attention to things like this even though nature makes no distinction.
Sure, but that doesn't have any affect on the safety of eating the plant, which was the topic here.
