Comment (by celloexpressions):

 "Customizer" as a noun is not generally used in core; instead, the verb
 form is preferred. The key is that widgets or menus can be managed
 ''with'' live preview, not ''in'' live preview. Therefore, "Manage with
 Live Preview" explains that this offers the ability to manage
 widgets/menus alongside a live preview as opposed to the admin pages that
 have management but no preview. For users who don't know what the
 "Customizer" is or don't make the connection with the "customize"
 terminology used elsewhere in core, the current text is essentially
 meaningless.

 In core, "Live Preview" is used for themes (in the admin and the
 customizer), and "preview" is used in the customizer help text. Outside of
 core text, we've been using "live preview" since widgets were first
 introduced in the customizer, with the "live" aspect differentiating
 between static previews such as the ability to preview posts. Live
 previewing a theme and managing/live previewing menus/widgets are
 different contexts, but I don't see there being confusion there as the
 live preview terminology becomes used more extensively in core.

 @lukecavanagh the links in question are on those pages, in the admin.
