Zigbee does that too tho, right?

The wiki on zigbee says so at least

Pretty sure than an underlying feature of both zigbee and zwave.

They're different in their implementation. Zigbee automesh is more of a centralized router-hub model with self healing relying on routing tables. This caused significant issues for me. Thread is true automesh with all devices acting as a hub in a hub/spoke model, so there's no centralized routing table to act as a single point of failure.
