   Turns out that this "bug" has existed for years with lots of discussions   
    about it online. Here's one fix I found. Way too much hassle for me so I'll   
    just stick with good old Google Files...   
      
   (1) Native Files does exist.   
   (2) Settings > Apps > Click the grayish icon to the right of "Your apps"   
    (Filter and sort) > Toggle Show system apps to ON.   
   (3) Scroll down to F and you will see the default Android Files app is   
    present and alive, just not directly accessible.   
   (4) How do you gain access to this?: Use the "Shortcut Maker" app from the   
    Play Store. In this app, go to Activities, click on Files, and select   
    "com.android.documentsui.files.FilesActivity" to make a shortcut to this   
    app.
