So while customizing the macOS finder I found a folder called "On My Mac" that I could add to my favourites bar, and I did add it. Now the folder is completely empty and I cannot drag anything inside of it, it also does not have a path like the downloads folder, instead it is just there like how the path appears for the recents tab. What is this folder for?

So no issue really; easy enough to ignore and move on.

Command i will open the information pane, maybe some insight there,
or
Control click in the Finder Sidebar for more options.
The only "On My Mac" folder I know of is a location in the Mail.app side bar.

Sounds like a hold over from Big Sur
