If the “save” button did indeed create a literal Explorer window, I expect it to come with all the trimmings — but it doesn’t. Plenty of what makes Explorer what it is aren’t part of the actual control that both Explorer and file picker dialogs use. To me, thinking of file picker dialogs as literal Explorer windows is as contrived as file picker dialogs not offering full CRUD abilities — except one approach is vastly friendlier and safer. I understand the technical decision, too, but there’s nothing that could prevent Windows from making file picker dialog behaviour non-destructive.
