With VLD de-coded as it is from the factory, what do the adaptive LEDs do that the non-adaptives don't? What adaptation do they do?

So the reason the LCI F3x LEDs don't work for NGHB is that even though there are multiple LEDs in each unit, they're not separately controlled like they were in the Pre-LCI LED F3x cars, a moving mask is therefore required for the functionality. Am I understanding that correctly?
The only thing adaptive about lights is the HBA (high beam assistant = on/off). Sometimes you do get slight directing at low speeds (eg turning into driveway), but require separate coding to fully enable VLD.

Yes. As opposed to a physical shutter, the light array selectively dims and shape light pattern:

Without, there is not a perfect tunnel formed and light leakage causes blinding glare for other drivers. Here are more details & here.
