What makes this ... > The Next Generation of Website Builders ... compared to all the other similar services already available?

That's a good question, the design is fully customizable so you can't edit most CSS properties in the editor. I'm also planning future updates that includes a system for automatically generating a virtual DOM serialized in JSON from Figma files which can be built into a website or application

So it is not a next generation editor at least yet? I personally do find this kind of marketing language off-putting – if the main promise is basically a false one, I immediately get suspicious of the whole product in general and dismiss it without even trying it out :/ I would rather read a honest "simple to use" even it is not that loud or unique. Note that this is not a critique on the product itself, just the landing page.

How is this different from say Squarespace (which I've never used btw)? The website doesn't really tell me. The slogan says it's "The Next Generation of Website Builders" but then doesn't tell me why. Does it have more functionality? Is it easier to use? Is it cheaper? Is there AI, and what does it do?

Basically, as a potential customer, why would I choose this product over the one that everyone's heard of? All I got from the site is that I can build a page "in 3 easy steps" - aren't all the website builders like that?

Think you're more likely to get customers if the site is updated with answers to the above :)
