Fuckin' user interface design, I swear

I find this annoying as well, but it only happens when you use quick access shortcuts. And then once you're in a sub folder it'll display the full path in the title bar provided you turn on "Display the full path in the title bar" in the Folder Options.

Navigating directly to c:\Users\MyUser\Downloads will also show the full path in the title bar.

It seems some of these shortcuts have "special" behaviours in explorer.

According to https://superuser.com/questions/1362386/always-show-absolute... Windows does not mess up the path (yet) if it is a UNC path of the format \\Computer-Name\Users\MyUser so you can pin these folders to Quick Access to benefit from bookmarking folders while keeping the ability to copy folder paths easily.
