In an attempt to provide needed clarity, iTunes as a service was re-branded some time ago as Apple Music. At the same time, the related Apps on Apple devices were similarly renamed.
iTunes as an App remained with Mac until its functionality was subsumed into Finder and the new Music App - at which time references to iTunes disappeared.
For Windows PC, the iTunes for Windows application is very much still alive and kicking. iTunes for Windows provides multiple services - such as providing synchronisation functions for connected Apple devices (iPad, iPhone, iPod) and access to the Apple Music services, media and associated subscriptions from the PC - and can be used to activate devices where the device itself is unable to connect with Apple's Activation Servers.
In summary, if you are using a Mac, you will use Finder.
Use the Finder to sync your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with your Mac - Apple Support
