Unique features in team- and communication sites

I know that this has been asked before but it is relevant to bring up this question again now that modern Team Sites without connected group has been announced.

Just so we are clear, the marketing and promotion for these templates is different. Communication sites are for news publishing and team sites for collaboration.

I want to strictly discuss features from a technical perspective. From here they use the same page model, have the same web parts, same list templates etc.

The only tru difference that I found is that communication sites use horizontal top navigation and team sites use vertical left navigation. This also seems to be hard coded in the site templates so that they it cannot be changed on an existing site.

Is it really so that the only critical question you have to ask when choosing between a communication- and team site without group is where you want the navigation to be?
