They are not only a wrapper for Wireguard even though people keep saying that.

Each of the tools gives different benefits and yes, you can roll all of that on your own, but let's take Tailscale as an example: You have custom ACLs to secure your network on a client/user/device basis with tagging of devices. You have your own tailscale SSH connection, the possibility to create private-public tunnels (just like Cloudflare tunnels). The hole punching using DERP servers and native IPv6/IPv4 interoperability means it really connects any device on any network type to all other devices. And of course the management pane and GUI you talked about.

This is not supposed to be a marketing ploy for Tailscale, but saying "they are just a wrapper for Wireguard" is plain wrong.
