Not at all the same (`apropos' does not even use completion, of any kind).
Likewise all the other vanilla Emacs `apropos-*' commands. Read the rest of
the behavior I described (no need to repeat it). If you still don't
understand the difference, read the doc I pointed to. There is no relation
here to what you get in vanilla Emacs.

Had vanilla Emacs been able to do what I described (or equivalent, with
equivalent ease), I would have pointed to vanilla Emacs.
