You are still overcomplicating something that is relatively simple. Read the Regulation again, one paragraph at a time.

Para 4(1) defines who must self-isolate

Para 4(3) simply defines, for those who must self-isolate, where that self-isolation must take place, dependent on category (e.g. arrivals from outside the CTA/asylum seekers/immigration bail grantees/etc). Agreed ?

Para 4(7) defines, for those who must self-isolate, how long that self-isolation must last: either 14 days or when the person leaves England (whichever is sooner)

With respect, I really don't understand how or why you are inventing other interdependencies that aren't provided for in the Regulations.

Some of the officials say it's not a "quarantine" but an "isolation". What is the difference..

In the medical world, quarantine is a preventative measure segregating potentially contagious individuals from a healthy population, while isolation is the segregation of a confirmed infected person from everyone else. So, if we follow this logic, the UK arrival measure is a quarantine. But probably they don't call it this because "self-isolation" sounds more self-explanatory and easy to understand.
