System Photo Library grayed out?

On my Mac the photos library location is "show in finder" and my system photo library is grayed out. Is this why I cannot upload recent pics while using another app? When I try to change a photo or upload a photo in an app it takes me to some folders under pictures. How do I correct?

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 11.4

When uploading to other apps, or websites, you need to select "photos" (in the media section) not the "pictures" folder. Like this:
