Could anyone please explain me the difference between SAP Fiori apps and SAPUI5 application?

In the document which SAP has given to create target mapping, it's mentioned that the application type SAPUI5 Fiori App has to be selected only for SAP Fiori Apps and not for other SAPUI5 Applications.

You can only use this function for SAP Fiori apps. Do not use this function for other SAPUI5 applications.

Till now I am believing that Fiori is a collection of SAP UI5 applications. If both are the same means why we should not select SAPUI5 Fiori for other UI5 applications.

Please correct me if am wrong and also please clear the confusion.

SAP UI5 is the tool (so views, controllers, databinding), but SAP Fiori Apps conform to the SAP Fiori Design Guidelines.
