Today, this question came to my mind when I started cerebrating about what it
actually is.

My conclusion is that: Te-form is simply another name for the concept of
連用形＋て(助詞) that native Japanese speakers would use or they were being taught
this way, right?

And in accordance with that, the te-form usage should be roughly equal to or a
part of て-usage, Could this line of thinking get through or it's just
nonsense?
