Sure, but it maps 100% to an expected JS syntax and improves readability (subjective).
From
<div attr1="str">{children}</div>
To
React.createElement("div", { attr1: "str" }, children)
Custom templating is not like that.

Subjective indeed. If the goal is to leverage the full expressiveness of JavaScript, you could just alias React.createElement to something like `h`. Or use something like https://github.com/caderek/react-plain

Yeah, but that's harder in practice. You often copy html snippets into your code, for example from tailwind or bootstrap samples. This is easier in JSX syntax; you'd just need to copy and fix up some attribute names.

I literally never do this, but I suppose there are people who use React/JSX as a glorified templating library. Even then I probably wouldn't do this and rather use a proper templating library where HTML is valid.
