Answer 1

magento provide facility to add product attribute directly in grid without any customization.

Please check carefully the selected checkbox are all table columns while unchecked are product attributes.

You can add any product or customer attribute in that section by below back-end configuration.

1. navigate to Stores and click on Product from Attributes section
2. click on any attribute you want to add in column section
3. go to Advanced Attribute Properties you will find configuration Add to Column Options just enable it and it will appear in grid selection section.
