Why do you need to use Django REST framework to make an API? Can't you just create routes like /api/createuser with normal Django and handle all of the backend logic from there as you would normally?

You do not NEED to use Django REST framework to make an API
But if you are going to make a decent REST API in Django, DRF is a framework on top of Django that helps you building an API with following features:
- Web browseable API, documentation autogeneration
- Generic views auto building from models
- Routers
- Body parsers (auto content-negotiation)
- Validators
- Authentication
- Permissions
- Throttling
- Data auto filtering via get params
- 4 different pagination modes (number/offset/time)
- API Versioning
- Multiple response formats (.xml/.json/etc)
- Exception format to current response format
You are free to reinvent the wheel and/or create a buggy/insecure REST API or you can choose to use a well thought and tested framework to help you build a good REST API.
