Not Using Thunderbolt but showing up under my Network

When I log into System Preferences, select Network, I usually only see my Wifi information. Now I see additional networks called "Thunderbolt Ethernet - not connected" - status says cable unplugged. The 2nd newtwork "Thunderbolt Bridge - not connected". I only use my Wifi and have not connected anything externally to my my computer besides the USB for mouse. When I go to advanced, interfaces are THB 1 and THB 2 which are inactive.

I just need to know if the additional Thunderbolts under my network drive are a cause for concern? If not, what is the need for it if I am not transferring anything anywhere?



MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 12.7
