The above is invalid syntax, as any HTML validator will tell you.

Yes, it does. As Els said, the nested list is part of the parent <li>,
not separate from it. That's what makes it nested, not merely the
placement of the child <ul>.

The reason you see so much of the invalid syntax version is because many
"WYSIWYG" tools don't generate correct syntax for nested lists. The only
reason it doesn't look broken on screen is because of browser error
correction.
