How does this differ from a liquify tool?

It applies a coherent field across the whole frame rather than local brush strokes, so the distortion is smooth and continuous. Everything bends together, which is why it reads as reality flexing rather than as retouching.

What makes the warp look intentional?

Keeping some reference straight or recognisable so the viewer can see what has been bent. Warping everything uniformly removes the comparison, and the image just looks like a blurry mistake.
