They were. Their borders were different. The Rashidun "only" conquered the entire Arabian Peninsula, Iraq, Levant, parts of Egypt and most of Iran.
The others all of Iberia, Sicily, parts of Southern Italy, Malta, Cyprus, Crete, all of Northern Africa, all of Caucasus, half of Turkey, half of Sudan, parts of Horn of Africa, Swahili coastline, most of Central Asia, all of Afghanistan and half of Pakistan etc.
They were also distinct Caliphates/Empires with different policies, rulers etc.
Doesn't contradicts what I'm saying, what I'm saying is a different political group revolted and took over the existing entity, new conquests are irrevelant to this.
