I also said mulching. So as the tractor moves forward, the
grass is discharged out to the rear, hence rear discharge. You
really can't mow much grass if the mower is not moving. Rear
discharge mowers are great in that they don't throw grass at
people or walkways nearby. You also don't have to decide which
way to throw the grass. It just lays back down in place. What
a novel concept.

So you do have the option of bagging but choose not to. That is
different than bagging is not an option.

Absolutely not. How do you bag grass clippings that are lying on
the ground. You would need a sweeper or vacuum which is
independent of the mower. A rear discharge mulching mower has no
discharge. It just lays the grass on the ground. The rear axle is
behind the mower.

If it does not discharge the clippings then it is not a side/rear/or up
in the air discharge mower. It would be just a plain old mulching
mower.
