The way those reverse engineering tools build the patches, the adjacent patches have knowledge of each other and are adjusted to be smooth with each other where they meet up, they're not actually built totally separately from each other.

No, not really - putting in fillets tends to be a different kind of a shape. A Tspline converted mesh has a more sort of overall uniform kind of melting and smoothing going on.
