The sugar, the eggs, the butterfat, the air, and the additives.
Homemade ice cream is usually lower in at least three of these. I generally don't buy the cheap always-scoopable ice cream, and ice cream keeps better when your freezer is very cold, so we often zap the carton in the microwave for 10-15 seconds before scooping.
