What are the Sandbox elements?

just curious i don't know much about this game.. i saw you can do trade runs and such but overall i'm trying to figure out what makes this game a sandbox MMO i keep hearing people call it. i watched this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vxNGbOWVBIU but nothing in there really shows anything i'd consider a sandbox defining aspect of the game so was curious.
