I don't think you're talking about the same thing. Retirement accounts are essentially taxed once, on either the front or back end.
An investment in stocks/brokerage account outside of those vehicles is taxed twice. Once when you bring the money home (income taxes) and again on the gains (capital gains). So yes, there is a huge difference.
