'8. Generalizations' for 'Directives' Lesson - Explain further?

No trouble with code on this exercise, just looking for clarification. The generalization made is this:

"Directives are a powerful way to create self-contained, interactive components. Unlike jQuery which adds interactivity as a layer on top of HTML, AngularJS treats interactivity as a native component of HTML."

I don't understand what this means, but I'd like to. Can anyone explain further?

Thanks.
