IMO it only makes a difference to someone in marketing.
Parallax only comes into play when your eye is not perfectly centered behind the scope. Even if your eye was not perfectly centered behind the scope the small amount of aiming error would be inconsequential at any reasonable slug hunting range.
Think of it this way: Most big game scopes are set at 100 yds, but people regularly shoot them at ranges of 300+ yards with no complaint.
Now if you were talking about ultra long range shooting at small targets parallax would be an issue and that's why scopes appropriate for that have adjustable parallax.
