What’s the purpose of lodash invoke in this code?

I am seeing a piece of code:

const format = _invoke(Intl, 'DateTimeFormat')

And for me it looks like it can be replaced by a simpler variant:

const format = Intl.DateTimeFormat

However, I am afraid it can work in a different way when changed to latter because it’s not just a function but a method of an object?

So, why the author of the code could’ve used it that way?
