Markus Meyer did a good job explaining how it's supposed to be used. I think that you might benefit from this diagram showing the differences between calling your service through APIM or directly.
"What am I missing here?" I think you're missing that API Management is a service, totally separate from you App Service. You do not "extend" the features of the App Service with APIM, you instead put APIM infront of your App Service and call your API through APIM to gain the benefits (of rate limiting in this example).
