(1) What is the purpose of Device File Explorer? is it like a third party app?

(2) for path 1: /storage/emulated/0/Android/data Why am I getting permission denied in Device File Explorer of Android Studio(How do I give the permission?) even though I can access this through the emulator file manager app(sdk_gphonne_x86 is /storage/emulated/0/).

enter image description here

(3) I used AOSP emulator as mentioned in this answer only to find out that there is no directory of data in Android folder why though?

(4) for path 2: /data/data I can access this directory in Device File Explorer but I can't even see this directory in emulator file manager app.

enter image description here

I understood the difference between path 1 & path 2 files stored through this answer.

(5) When I use getApplicationSupportDirectory() from the Path Provider package I get /data/user/0/com.itbf.flash_chat_flutter/files and I realized it is nothing but same as the data/data/com.itbf.flash_chat_flutter/files directory which means data/data is actually data/user/0 why is that so?
