I guess the main difference is that cast iron cookware is not just come coating that is infused onto a metal base.
I do in fact have one of those ceramicoat copper colored pans and the ceramic coated ones that came with both of my nuwave cook tops, I bought the copper one because when I was having to use a portable induction cook top it heated faster than the cast iron plus it was larger than the ones that came with the cook tops. My cast iron cookware is mostly Lodge brand and has a ridge ring on the bottom that is mostly there to direct the heat from a gas flame and it did not allow a large enough area of the induction cook top to heat perfectly.
But I find that since ceramic is a coating it begins to degrade from the very first use even if using silicone tools and not using a metal spatula Where as cast iron is through and through not a coating.
After polishing mine then seasoning them the way I did, now several years later they have only improved with age
