Charles Proxy is proxying requests to your browser.
If you use the built-in dev tools to do the same thing, then there is no proxy.
An alternative client for something is (usually) not a proxy. It connects directly.
But more importantly, "a proxy where the app developers can intercept and see all data" is not referring to a client-side proxy. Even if there was a client-side proxy involved somewhere, that would make the initial claim wrong.
