I'm confused - What is the difference between this and sites that let me login with my Google account?

Persona works with any email address, so the major difference is that you can get the "Sign in with Google" experience, with just one button, but without being forced to choose (and phone home to) Google.
Another big thing is privacy. Signing in with google, or facebook pretty much enables them to stalk you. This can't happen with person due to its architecture =)
