    I don’t understand. Doesn’t every GUI OS have a desktop environment? Not just Linux distros. Like, isn’t the Windows Shell just Windows’s desktop environment?

      I can’t say for sure, but I’d assume that windows works differently that GNU/Linux at least slightly like this. In GNU, there is a hierarchy of displaying things and windows likely has a slightly different version of that.
