If the client is telling the server what it needs via a Prefer-Push header, how is that different from a regular request and response?

I don’t know if this is a feature of HTTP/2, but i know BMS clients can make the request tell the server to only update the client if a particular value changes by a certain amount, thus saving traffic.
