I get the gist of that, but it seems like the range concept with UFCS provides the same thing? E.G. range.map().flatten().map()?
Well, informally speaking, this is roughly an instance of a Monad.

The quick answer is that they are more general and would also capture eg. rooted trees with map and flatten operations, not just linear sequences.
