I'd argue Pi-hole is quite a bit more than dnsmasq (it's actually a fork of dnsmasq called ftldns) out of the box. It's also very much more approachable by the majority and the web interface gives people immediate feedback and configurability without having to understand configurations for the services directly.

Interesting, didnt realize the “pi-hole” branded package was more than vanilla dnsmasq glued together with shell scripts.

Go back in the project history and you'll see that it originally was! It's matured a lot since then.
