They usually have bins, which means you can pull the food out and shake it without worrying about burning your hands; or, plate it without touching it.

That's the big difference that I've noticed now that I'm reading about them.

It's got to be more than that, perhaps the bin shape creates a better air-frying environment? Why is there a difference in cooking results between the toaster oven "air fryer" and the bin type?

This. The pull out draw/basket is the true game changer.
