Yeah that's a thing Microsoft did a few years ago, they wanted to change the locations and names for certain types of files, but instead of doing a move / copy, they created virtual folders like Documents and Pictures where you can add multiple folders to. It's confusing and I hope they'll offer to consolidate all that at some point.

Which reminds me of iTunes, which I've used on Windows for years. It had an option to automatically consolidate files and store them in a sane location automatically when adding music. It was great.

They are super special folders too. I like to have my Downloads on a separate hard drive because of my tiny SSD. You can't make symlink with those Quick access directories though, you break them. You have to go into the properties of the item and change their Location.

Oh, and if you broke them it's not like Windows will fix them for you, no you need to head over to Super User and read some solutions.
