If I am summarizing this right... when you make kief or bubble hash, you are breaking off the trichomes, full of their resin. You press them to break the trichomes and release the resins. There will still be trichomes left behind. The heads break off easier then the stalks.
When using a solvent, through agitation, the solvent displaces the resins, not dissolving the trichomes, but pushing the resin out of the head or stalk. The resin dissolves in the solvent. Hence, if you evaporate all the liquid, you have an oily mass left. Plus any plant matter and possible trichomes that broke off.
