Well, modern phones have more power than computers of not too long ago, but
you do not have the full sized keyboard and screen and the like. You can hook those up, though.

ThatrCOs a matter of peripherals, IrCOm talking about the innate
capabilities of the core OS.

Android has always allowed file manager apps, for example. It has a
proper filesystem, which stores proper files, so it makes sense to use
proper tools for managing those files.

iOS has a file manager called "Files". It shows all user documents.

It has a
proper filesystem, which stores proper files, so it makes sense to use
proper tools for managing those files.

Can you give an example where this helps the general user? Not saying there
are none -- maybe it helps with troubleshooting? I am grossly outdated on Android and even when I used it I did so on low end devices. Oh, and have used it in emulation but that hardly counts.

One native one. You can get others. Never felt the need.

I think some will show the system files, which I think is something you would like. On iOS I have never had the need (which is not to say you are wrong if you want to).
