Whether you install or or it's pre-loaded is irrelevant. When you first start it up, it asks you to create an account. The name you provide for the account is your user ID. You don't even need to use whoami if you have the Login screen set to display when you boot up - the default userid will be shown on it.

I've yet to see an andriod file manager use anything past v2.0

They may not, because no need. It's just that Samba itself is currently at v4. A machine running Samba can be a domain controller on a Windows network, manage Active Directory resources, and be nodes on WinNT domains.
Android file managers just need to use SMB to access Windows file systems.

1.0 was blocked in 1709 because it became a huge security risk with ransomware. So hopefully Android developers will start updating their apps to use the newer protocols.

We can hope, but it's not something I'd bet money on.

I wouldn't go that far in describing it, but I dropped it. You can buy a pro upgrade to remove ads (and I did for Solid), but IIRC, the privacy problems persist.
Pity. It used to be the pick of the file manager litter.
