One is a website. The other is a open source tool for local read/write that's been wrapped to add data collection without explicit user consent.

so that means it's ok for the website to collect way more data than etcher?

and since it's open source, you can actually remove any home-calling and have a perfectly functional software, but you can't change anything on this website.
