A combat simulator and a full VTT overlap, but they are not the same thing.
What a combat simulator focuses on
A combat simulator focuses on the encounter layer: battle maps, initiative, tokens, hit points, conditions, movement, and turn flow. The goal is to keep combat understandable and fast.
What a full VTT usually adds
A full VTT often tries to cover broader campaign needs such as world data, journals, handouts, automation layers, campaign structure, or a larger library of generalized tools.
That broader scope can be useful, but it is not always the right fit. If the real pain point is combat management, a narrower product can be clearer and easier to adopt.
Why the distinction matters
Search language often blurs these products together. A game master might search for a VTT when what they really want is a better way to run combat. That is exactly why Virtual Combat Simulator is described so explicitly as a combat simulator and encounter control room.
