The Angular HttpClient uses XMLHttpRequest under the hood. It's helpful to know what that's about and how we got to where we are now. If you're learning Angular, most Angular courses will assume you already know what AJAX is about and how to get around problems like CORS. Also, using a framework has its pros and cons. It's not always the right choice for every project. It's good to know how to do things the vanilla way so you have that option.

Side note: it's worth learning about fetch as well.
