Taking the ball from standing still is 100% different than being handed the ball running straight ahead (not dead-straight, but for all intents and purposes, it's straight) makes a world of difference because Hill has no momentum going and has to wait for the ball to be handed to him. When Dalton is under center, Hill is running at about full speed when he gets the ball and he's going downhill.
The defense also has less-time to react and get in position when Hill gets the ball running full-speed ahead, which is where he's at his best.
Dillon starts from standing still whether we are in the shotgun or under center.
And defenses have the exact same run fits if we are in shotgun or under center. There is difference in their ability to "react and get in position".
