Home computer use: what is Bonjour Service?

Self-tutoring about PCs: the tutor looks up Bonjour Service

My impression is that I’ve seen Bonjour Service listed in the Task Manager since the early 2000s. Today I see it on the Windows 10 laptop, and wonder what it does.

Bonjour Service, apparently, is by Apple and is used for networking purposes. Some Apple apps, such as iTunes, use it.

My understanding is that, if Bonjour Service is on a Windows computer, it’s there to facilitate use of Apple software. In my case, I don’t believe I use any Apple software on the laptop; I suppose it may have come with Bonjour Service in case the user would install iTunes, etc.
