Comment(by jfarthing84):

 In the screen options, it just set's up the columns for the screen. This
 is a transparent change, and is only noticed when actually using a UI,
 whether created by WP or a plugin.

 Here is an explanation. If a post UI is created by WP because of the
 'show_ui' argument, this function automatically assigns that page to have
 two columns (as a post page should). However, if you set 'show_ui' to
 false but create your own UI, the UI will only be 1 column and you'll
 wonder where all of your "right" context meta boxes are, such as the most
 important one, "Submit".

 There is a filter available, as I'm sure you see, but that is just one
 extra step that shouldn't have to be taken when it can be accomplished
 correctly by using the 'public' argument as explained. Because if I create
 my own UI, I will set 'show_ui' as false, but keep 'public' as true.
 Again, that should be the difference between the two.
