And in doing so expected Sublime to be an IDE and not a text editor, which means they don’t really understand what. text editor is, what’s in scope, or how it functions.

I needed to install Android Studio to get the relevant android build tools, when I was done, I didn't touch android studio, I wrote all my code in Sublime and run a command that uses Android Studio's tools without opening the app. Heck, I could even run an emulator without opening the Android Studio GUI which is comparable to VS. It seems like Windows devs are locked to Visual Studio.

No, in doing so they expected the IDE to continue to function as a build tool even if the programmer is using a text editor that works for them.
