Microsoft explainsadding that
OneDrive cloud profiles reflect the name of the user associated with the account. Windows known folders that are available by default in the navigation pane no longer appear on This PC. This allows you to keep the view focused on the PC drives. When you access folders synced with OneDrive such as Documents, Pictures, etc., the address bar shows the correct path. This is to help you clarify when your folders are in the cloud versus when they are local to you.
