What's the difference in the Joeys?

There are still no plans for DISH to make a ATSC 3.0 OTA Adapter.

If they did, we'd hear a giant flushing sound of money "going away."

The OTA dongle allows for a separate OTA ATSC 3 dongle to be developed and used. No need for building such into a much more expensive H3.

I think that the issue is DRM and making it work with any attached Joeys though Scott may know more about that than I do.

There really isn't much need for an ATSC 3.0 dongle for the Hopper3. All your major local channels will be carried over satellite.
The ATSC dongle is merely a gratuity from Dish for OTA reception as a backup , but now there is the streaming option.
And their current ATSC tuner isn't that great.
