Hello
Why this equation is possible to solve in the current matlab, despite the fact that a few years ago it was impossible ?
X = [ 1;2;3] Y = [ 4;5;6] X'.*Y.
MATLAB R202b

It was introduced in R2016b. Read all about it here: https://blogs.mathworks.com/loren/2016/10/24/matlab-arithmetic-expands-in-r2016b/. Previously such a thing was only possible through bsxfun().

Yes, MATLAB automatically expand both matrices to have equal size and then use element-wise operation. In your case X' is [1x3] and Y is [3x1]. MATLAB repeat elements of X' and Y to make them 3x3 matrices.
