Just curious. What separates them?

A wheelbuilder knows what works and chooses components accordingly,
where others will assemble and/or sell whatever they have. A
wheelbuilder will stress-relieve every spoke, where others will
overlook or be unaware of the need for this step. A wheelbuilder will
deliver a wheel that's really ready to use, where others will deliver
something reasonably round which, after a little additional work, may
or may not be ready to be ridden for many thousands of trouble-free
miles. The difference is in the details, and there are sometimes more
details than you might think.
