I think it's more likely to compare it to the array constructor. According to MDN

The difference between Array.of() and the Array constructor is in the handling of integer arguments: Array.of(7) creates an array with a single element, 7, whereas Array(7) creates an empty array with a length property of 7 (Note: this implies an array of 7 empty slots, not slots with actual undefined values).

I didn't know this method either!

He asked about [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6] and not Array(7), is it the same?

it is essentially the same, I just pointed out what is a better comparison case with quote from the mdn docs
