I think the main difference is that a person has to go through a process to request an absentee ballot.  Vote by mail schemes being proposed by Democrats involves pretty much sending out ballots by mail to everyone.  That is rife with potential fraud.  Ballot harvesting is already a problem and this would be harvesting on steroids because of the sheer numbers.  And it would be inconsisent with ID laws in many states because how would you check an ID for a mail-in ballot?  Absentee ballots are for those with legitimate reasons they cannot be available to vote on the day of the election.  And with early voting there is even very little excuse for most people to want absentee ballots.
