I always was so confused when jury nullification was explained to me like it was some special secret menu item in the US legal system. When I realized it was literally just voting for the result u want regardless of the evidence, I was like wait that's just what being on a jury is.
the difference is a jury in a criminal trial is supposed to decide whether someone committed a crime, not whether the law should even be enforced
