(1) Visually, it's not the same. The quote environment will indent
both margins, sequential will not. Also, A two paragraph item in
the sequential environment should presumable look like:
   Firstly, the two forms are quite different for numerous
   reasons.
      For example, the second, and following paragraphs of an item
   are indented. Also, less space appears between paragraphs than
   between items.
(2) It is most definitely logically distinct. Even if quote gave
us *exactly* the desired appearance, the markup should be
different, e.g., each item beginning with \item etc.
