Where am I missing the wording that allows them? And, are they really that much better?

It doesn't say anything about them being like OEM and never has. They have allowed any type of shock in stock class as long as it meets certain criteria, such as stock attachment points and the overall length has to be within 1" of stock. It also can only have two adjustments. The nitrogen pressure is not considered an adjustment.
Typically the remotes allow for extra oil which means less heat, also sometimes the shock components work better because you aren't having to package so much in the shock body. It can also allow compression to be adjusted easier since they are typically easy to get to versus having to monkey with something on the bottom of the shock.
