They are different data types.  

The Touch UI checkbox is based on: 

https://docs.adobe.com/docs/en/aem/6-2/develop/ref/granite-ui/api/jcr_root/libs/granite/ui/component...

The Classic UI one is based on this data type: 

https://docs.adobe.com/content/docs/en/cq/5-6-1/widgets-api/index.html?class=CQ.form.Checkbox

So each one will work for the given checkbox on a dialog in their respective views.
