I don't understand how Energia is not system software.

In the video, Energia was directly communicating with a piece of hardware to turn on an LED. Based on the information the video gave me, it seems like this would be something that system software would do. Is there any way to explain to me the nuance of how Energia is an application?

Thanks for directing me toward that other post; I am still new to this site and didn't truly realize how asking questions worked. Thanks for helping... wish I could delete this question.
