I feel like they'd almost have to do something like the recent stuff I saw where one person did full ROM for half their body and lengthened partials for the other half... but given the overlap in methods, have always been curious if the difference would be like 2% or 20% over time.

Hypertrophy builds mass. You get strength along with it but not full potential.
Strength training builds strength. You are training your CNS when strength training. When strength training you are in the low 1-5 rep range so there isn't the volume to cause the muscle tissue breakdown that is needed for muscle building.
