One of these differences alone might not make much of a difference, but the additive effect of all of them put together might be significant.

For example, when I use the "listen" (or solo) function on my copy of the UAD Precision De-Esser, there is very little sound coming out, yet the removal of the small amount of sound is making a large difference in the sound of the vocal track. It almost sounds a little eerie to hear a small buzz like bees in a jar, and you think "how could that small sound being subtracted possibly affect the vocal sound?" But it does.

However, I do agree that a NULL IS A NULL. Period.
Yup.
Null is Null
Not Null means something is going on.
And that something can make a big difference even if it's small.
