  Unless you have a rather old phone [1], you don't see your phone as a
*drive*, i.e. a thing which has a drive letter. You probably see your
phone in File Explorer and *only* in File Explorer.

  If your phone is a Windows *drive* (or a Network Share), you could -
for example - open a file on your phone with a Windows program - for
example Notepad, *without* first copying the file to your Windows
system.

  I.e. you can not open a file which resides on your phone. You can only
copy it to your Windows system and *then* open it.

  This difference might seem semantics, but it is a big difference in
functionality. Without it, programs on the Windows system do not have
direct access to the files on your phone. For example you can't make
backup (backup, not just copy) of the files on the phone, by using a
(generic) backup program on your Windows system.

[1] Old Android devices might still have (USB) 'Mass Storage Mode',
which *does* give a Windows drive (letter).
