Why this difference?

In order to make all of the elements of the asset collection available, I wasn't able to merely drag the collection into the general Scene Collection (the cursor turns into a "no no" crossed out circle).  Rather, I needed to select the object, go to Object > Relations > Make Local.

    is this is the latest version of Blender? One thing I noticed is that if you have anything selected, dragging and dropping a collection will give you this error. Deselect everything and try that?
