In the past, many amateurs did connect coax directly to a dipole.

And what they do if they have the monopole?


Connect it with coaxial transmission line, idiot.


If the monopole has only one radial it is exactly as the your dipole.
Right?


No. A monopole needs many radials, not one. if it has only one radial
the voltage at the end of the radial is the same as on the monopole,
and the whole thing becomes a dipole.
