Title: Why is Electrum able to generate .psbt from the address only but BitcoinCore requires a Public Key/Descriptor?

Why is Electrum able to generate .psbt from the address only but BitcoinCore requires a Public Key/Descriptor?

When generating a .psbt it suffices to merely import the address (hashed Public Key) in Electrum while in BitcoinCore (for the same address) I also would have to import either a corresponding Public Key or Descriptor. Is there a reason why BitcoinCore requires these additional inputs and Electrum does not?
