Utility Apps Automatically Jumped Out of The Folder

These 8 apps are out of the "Other"/Utilities folder automatically. See the screenshot. I checked the Application folder from Finder, the same are out of the Utilities folder.

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 10.15

Why are only 2 apps showing when I visit the Applications folder using Terminal? When using Finder, my Applications folder shows a ton of apps. But when I go into it using Terminal, only two show up. What would cause such a weird situation? Thank you!

Did I duplicate systemic native apps? If so, how to delete them? In applications I dragged the utilities apps out of the Utilities folder. I wanted to view them individually and not clustered within a folder. I thought the folder would then be emptied of them and I could delete the folder. Now I think I have duplicated the utilities apps which are now listed individually among the other apps. The original apps are still in the Utility Folder. The system won't let me delete either the duplicates or the Utilities folder. Can't drag to Trash or 'Remove to Trash'. Pop-up window says they're needed for the OS. How can I remove the Utilities Folder with apps still inside? I would still like apps individually listed within Applications. I'm so confused as to why the apps weren't removed from the folder when I dragged them outside of the folder. Is there anything to be done? Thank you.

Apple is about change, not position, and they have changed some application locations in both Mojave and Catalina. Expect even more changes with Big Sur.
