If someone can explain why "net use Z:" mounts Android as a Windows drive

mount Android as a drive letter when I use SMB, I'd love to know why.

Because there is no SMB (port 445) server running on Android. Android does not
allow anyone to use port 445 for servers.  iOS does. WebDav is using port
8080.  That's why it works on Android.

 Hi Tyrone,
 Thanks for helping out on this thread, where you and Crhis were the only
people, other than me, who did any work to solve teh question being asked.

1. There were other people who told you what was what. I was one of them.
2. You contributed NOTHING to solving this non-existent "question".
