I think pretty much every season makes it clear the Cures are more important than the battles they're fighting, so I don't really get framing it as a "difference". There's always a heavy focus on relationships and character, with the fights usually being vehicles to express the characters growth/relationships/teamwork. The fights in Precure are nice, but it's far from like, the particular type of shonen that puts multi-episode battles first, they're usually a pretty short part of each episode except in special cases/finales/etc.

There's also usually a very redemptive "healing" element even in the more violent battles, villains in Precure tend to get redeemed and reasoned with, so even if there's violence, the focus on strategy and pacification isn't super different from what Wonderful does. The motif of understanding animals and focusing on human-animal relationships is fun and new, but I wouldn't call it like, incredibly groundbreaking for the franchise.

Wonderful Precure went from worst season to must watch every week for me with its second half.
