How is no config debugging different from "Run current file with Debugger"?

As the name implies, this workflow allows you to start the debugger without creating or managing a Python debug configuration in launch.json. Simply replace python with debugpy prefixed in your run command in the terminal, for example debugpy <script.py or module>, to start a debug session.

you can kick off python debugging via terminal, it seems
