A bit background for context would help. What happened on 5 April 2015?

that’s when the government changed the way calculated and also changed again in 2019 so was based on property value on 2015 if bought before and on 2015 to 2019 changed again, I bought the property in 2011

there are subtle differences between what can and cannot be included in the calculations, so yes they give different results meaning you can choose the most advantageous for you

the caveat re the gain over the whole period is clearly stated:  This computation method may only be worth considering if you’ve made a loss

as for why non UK resident people are offered things that UK residents can't have, ask a politician.
