I don't think that's true, you can write uncompiled createElement calls and everything still works fine.

createElement still exists, but the JSX compiler doesn't use it anymore; see https://legacy.reactjs.org/blog/2020/09/22/introducing-the-n...

Regardless of whether you use JSX or createElement, you can't just call MyComponent({ attr: “yes” }) directly, is the main point.

Yeah I don't think you ever could just call MyComponent(props) directly if the component used hooks. If it was hookless (what a concept...) it wouldn't matter.
