Is there any particular reason conquest followed by occupation is any better than conquest followed by occupation and colonization?

In fact there is. Occupying a country and giving the inhabitants of that country full rights as citizens of your own expanded country, is better than to occupy a country and colonize and treat people of the occupied country as second class citizens or not as citizens at all.

There is a difference in what happened to the aboriginees in Australia and what happened to finns after the Russians took over.
