OK. Though I know it, it is hard to get used to, coming from LaTeX.

I missed that. It fixes the spaces within the formula, but adds space between the two sets relative both TeX and AMS-LaTeX (which has about the same as TeX), cf. example below.
In AMS-LaTeX one can have more than one alignment, though when trying it between the “-“ and the “ω” in the second (right-most) set, it adds a lot of space, rather than just trying to align a compactly as possible. In ConTeXt, nothing happens with extra alignments; in TeX, there is an error.
So using \startmathcases is a workaround: trying to force it to do something it wasn’t intended for.
