From what I've read, there is practically no RF on the lower crook of
a "J" antenna, so why would using that crook as a mount and/or ground
attachment make much of a difference?

There is little RF voltage but there is a very high level of RF
current.

The same situation you find in the center of a ½-wave dipole (low
voltage/ high current).
