the wheels are moving your engine when you are engine braking. Not the other way around.

when you switch to neutral the engine needs to burn fuel to keep up idle rpms so it doesn't stall.

which it doesn't need to do if the wheels are moving the engine while it's in gear.

JARblue, dave11 and Nomabond like this.
