1. That they are related. If we would have a decent working file manager app, even only a built-in one from MS themselves, that in itself would breach their own security measures.
In other words, it is because of this security measure that we do not have such an app, AND that the devs cannot access isolated storage sections. There are a few file manager apps in the store but off course none of them work as supposed to as the devs of those apps cannot access isolated storage sections.
So if that security measure were somehow "loosened" by MS to allow for a file manager app, even only a built-in one, that could access everything (rename/copy/paste/...), then the developers would be able to do the same. That would enable them to successfully manage all neccessary files from within the app to begin with, and there wouldn't really be a need for managing those files outside of the apps at all in the first place, thus rendering a file manager irrelevant.
2. That we shouldn't be expecting EITHER, simply because we are idiots to expect MS to loosen that security measure any time soon !
