what is the technical difference between forcing a removal and an
actual failure?

isn't it the same process? except one is manually triggered? i would
assume the same resilvering process happens when a usable drive is put
back in...

Not quite.  I suspect you are thinking about drive replacement rather
than removal.

Drive replacement is already supported in ZFS and the task involves
rebuilding data on the disk from data available elsewhere.  Drive
removal involves rebalancing data from the target drive to other
disks.  The latter is non-trivial.
