Because of the different interfaces to said drives? (USB vs. Network vs. SATA)

yes that seems to be the point. NAS is over the network, USB is supposedly "cold storage" (unless you keep it connected 24/7). Imagine something like: all drives on your desktop PC are compromised due to a PSU malfunction that causes a current or voltage spike - in that case, both NAS and USB cold storage would be safe.
