iPadOS and System Data showing separately?

When troubleshooting a different storage issue, I did a restore from backup on my new iPad. A major difference I saw post-restore is that now I have iPadOS showing as a separate entity taking up storage vs. system data, which it wasn't showing before. Is this normal?

Yes, it seems to be normal on the most recent iOS and iPadOS releases. (I don't know exactly when it started; 15 or 15.1, probably.) Useful information.
