You are mostly right, to be specific:

The file explorer in windows 11 has been writen with a framework called electron, electron's whole thing is that it allows you to code a website and have it act like an .exe application

It does this by launching a stripped down chromium browser (edge is also based on chromium) that only loads this one application's page

So yes the file explorer is running in a browser

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.
