Show an sequence that can not use l’Hôpital’s Rule to find limit

This from my textbook enter image description here

I understand that the domain of a function need to be real numbers to apply l’Hôpital’s Rule. But the textbook also provides a theorem below. enter image description here

It looks like to me that we can apply l’Hôpital’s Rule every time by coming up with a function first, then apply it to the sequence. Or we can only apply l’Hôpital’s Rule to see if the limit exists, if it exists, fine, the limit of sequence is the same limit. But if a function's limit doesn't exist, there no point to use l’Hôpital’s Rule?
