It's called a nib bc technically a xib gets compiled into a nib. I think that's Next Interface Builder, which is Next as in Jobs' old company. It has a long history.
For those coming from an Android app development background (like myself), Storyboards are basically Navigation Graphs (Google probably stole this from Apple), which are not exactly necessary but are pretty good to control the navigation process in your app. However the NIBs (XIB Files) are, as far as I understood, the equivalent of an XML representation of a view. For example, in RecyclerView, each viewholder inflates from a view item's XML, correct ? That is the NIB.

Great video!
Thanks
But you can reuse prototype from storyboard many times also, so there's no need in xibs at all.
It’s easier to have nib for modularization in companies with a lot of programmers
please can you make video on UIView reusable View
What are you using for the zooming? Is that something you do with your mouse wheel or is that editing afterwards?
May be an accessibility function. Check it in macOS System Preferences.
