Finder is macOS equivalent of Windows Explorer (maybe, it’s been a while). I assume Linux desktop suites have various similar processes. In other words, a second optional layer (with more features) to access runtime libc file manipulation api.

No. It’s a joke. Proper computer science is not about this level of computer programming. Computer science is more a field of mathematics that studies the computability of things. Like making the traveling salesman problem more efficient. Or how to most efficiently determine if a giant number is prime. Or how to scramble a message such that it is unduly difficult to unscramble without a key factor.
Word on the street is that GNU’s not Unix.
Computer programming is to computer science as telescope operation is to astronomy.
