So the main difference is that CI tests provide useful information, whereas automatically creating a ticket from a commit provides 0 useful information, it just duplicates data.
The other difference is that CI tests do actually run automatically. If you had to go into github and press "run tests" every time you make a PR, that is a waste of time.
But sure, if there was a server side hook that automatically created Jira tickets for PR's without tickets, then the entire thing is less annoying. I still think that's a net negative since it creates noise in Jira, but it's not as bad as forcing engineers to do automatable work.
I agree that my wording was not perfect, hopefully the extra explanation makes my point clearer.
