Apples and oranges.
A soft-boiled egg cooked in shell for an hour is going to have a completely different texture and flavor than an egg cooked for 4 minutes in plastic wrap. The 4 minute cook is going to be more the traditional boiling water poached egg, whereas the 1 hour in-shell is going to have a yolk that is like custard and be rather rich in flavor. It’s almost decadent.
