That's because Pymel is not PyAPI. Pymel simplifies the work with
non-api related tasks a lot.
And you can combine the simplified Pymel MObject with the python API.
With a pure api access you have to make a MSelectionList get the current
MObject etc. With pymel you can access the MObject or MFn directly.

Can I ask why use pyMel, when you have a much faster and more pythonic
API, om2?

I am curious if anyone could provide me with an example of the the
orientJoint() function in PyMel. I have been searching online to
see how to properly use it, and the information that I am getting
seem a bit muddied. I can't tell if orientJoint is actually a
function or if it is a flag that I call when I create a joint.
Sorry if this is an obvious thing to know.
Some of the code that I was trying was:
from pymel.core import *
parent = selected()[0].root()
orientJoint(parent)
