Flutter Directory path and Directory create path are different

It's very odd, when I call getApplicationDocumentsDirectory() it returns the following path:

/data/user/0/co.XXX.dev/app_flutter

While running (await getApplicationDocumentsDirectory()).create(recursive: true) creates a new folder at the above path:

/data/data/co.XXX.dev/app_flutter

According to Android Studio Device File Explorer the two paths are different

enter image description here

Why does it create the directory on a different path?

The two paths are linked to the same directory

According to @blackapps (without further explanation), the two paths are linked to the same directory.

For that reason, when I create new files from one path, I'm able to read them from the other path.

If someone can explain more about the aim of this link, please edit this answer.
