Can someone eli5 what Shizuku is? I keep hearing about it on a number of Android App YouTube videos as well.

The app lets you use system features that are normally not available for regular apps. Basically it runs a service which has access to some System API's that can be granted to regular apps so think of it like you would have root without having root.

It's just a on-device GUI for the built in debugging tools, which might be used to grant permissions apps can't usually request by themselves.

It's like USB ADB, but on device.
