The whole point of the original post and of the lesson describing 3/4 vs 6/8 was not to compare those two notations that indeed are effectively interchangeable.
The point was to compare (1) & (2) & (3) & to the different accent pattern of (1) 2 3 (4) 5 6.
Anyway, even in the case where you are instead counting the 8ths of 6/8 with the same timing as the quarters of 3/4, the 3/4 more readily allows the possibility of odd-numbers of measures in phrases.
That's like how 2/4 and 4/4 are truly identical if the notes are the same (the same son in either time signature is unchanged), but only in 2/4 can you readily have 5-measure sections (i.e. 10 quarter notes) as phrases.
Anyway, there's obviously some miscommunication between us. I assume you actually would agree with everything I'm saying if we were discussing in person. But your original post here will read to many people here as making the claim that there's no distinction between:
3/4 A E C E C E (all 8ths)
and
6/8 A E C E C E (all 8ths)
whereas the whole point of the original article was to describe that these identical timings have different feel because of the different accent structure.
