LIQUID PPF??

How? Not sure i see a difference between what they are calling "liquid" PPF and regular ol' ceramic coating...

A liquid or spray-on PPF is a sprayable silicone film. It applies like spray paint but dries into a PPF. It is removable like a traditional PPF. It also exhibits certain traits like spray paint ie you can add color to it, layer it, and some even allow flatting/polishing between layers. It's very different from and much thicker than a ceramic coating.

Does it still have the self-healing properties of a traditional PPF, or is essentially an upgraded version of ceramic coating?

The spray-on PPFs that I know of do not have the self-healing properties of traditional PPF. However the spray-on PPF allows polishing, spot repairs and re-layering. You can argue that it does not require the self-healing properties.

Yes spray-on PPF is much more similar to Plastidip than ceramic coating in terms of how you apply it. But it is much thicker and resilient than Plastidip and is designed to last many times longer.

It's got to be pro-level application right? I could see this being a nightmare to do DIY...

It is applied same as professional car spray paint, not from a rattle-can like Plastidip. You need a clean spray booth environment, UV curing etc. Definitely not for the casual DIY-er or weekend detailer. But it's a fairly new tech right now. Who knows, a DIY version might be introduced later.

Interesting. I would imagine you can peel it off?

Yes you can peel off the spray-on PPF, just like a traditional PPF. At a first glance it looked like it came off easier than a traditional PPF. It's early days still so it's unknown what the long-term wear characteristics of the spray-on PPF are like.
