Android does not natively have any kind of file browser?

It does, it's just not the best.

It does, it's called DocumentsUI and provides the system file picker. However its main entry point is often hidden, and imo it's still somewhat suboptimal/limited in certain aspects. But it's the only way to access the private Android/data directory right now.

Material Files also provides the ability to easily open DocumentsUI for browsing Android/data.
