You're asking about the difference between a kit lens and a 1.4 prime? … I think you need a bit more experience before upgrading but i'll answer your question anyway. The prime is fixed focal length so no zooming in (use your feet to walk closer/farther from the subject) the 1.4 makes it do you can shoot with a lower ISO and or faster shutter speed in darker situations while also offering more blurred backgrounds.

2. What non-native means for you it that the autofocus might not be quite as on par with say Sony G or GM lenses and the size and weight are humongous.
3. All that aside, this is an extremely high quality lens and is a steal for the price. You cannot get better quality images at this price point. (applies to all Sigma Art lenses really)
4. Native Sigma mirrorless lenses (the DN ones) are easily double or sometimes even triple this price.
5. Sigma is likely putting things up for sale because they are rumored to introduce a line of native (DN) 50mm primes f1.2 and 1.4 this quarter.

Regarding Points 1&2) What "big black collar on the bottom" are you referring to? The dimensions of both HSM and DN lenses are similar. If anything, if you compare the 35/1.4 HSM and DN lenses (which is available in both) you will find both similar in size, though the Sony-E lenses are longer than the DSLR version of the HSM lenses.
EDIT: regarding the "collar": the collar refers to the different shape between the DSLR version of these lenses (for Canon EF, Nikon F) compared to the Sony-E, mirrorless version, which has a shorter flange distance. Here is a link to a discussion regarding the extra length of these HSM lenses in E-Mount compared to HSM lenses in other mounts:
https://www.dpreview.co
As for size and weight: the HSM lens weighs 23.5 oz while the DN lens weighs 22.6 oz. Also the dimensions of the HSM 35/1.4 lens is actually smaller (3in x 3.7in) than the equivalent 35/1.2 DN lens (3.0 in. x 4.4 in.) [EDIT: This should be 35/1.4 DN lens--not f/1.2]. For the 14-24/2.8 lenses: the HSM is significantly heavier (40%) than the DN, though, dimensions are close.
All that being said, all the ART series lenses tend to be very big and heavy, but extremely high quality lenses at competitive prices compared to the best lenses by other manufacturers.

As others have pointed out, this lens weighs over 2.5 lbs, or about a pound heavier than an A7 series full frame camera and 3x the weight of an a6x00 series APS-C camera. It may not be the best lens for everyday shooting unless you are comfortable with lugging it around. For studio, still life, landscape, and other situations where you are less likely to be carrying it around all day, it'll be great.
One big advantage of using this lens on a Sony is to take advantage of the in-body stabilization since the Sigma lens does not have its own optical stabilization.

EDIT: spend $59 and get the USB dock to use with this lens
