Seems like others recently have had the same issue on 22.04: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1483018/home-user-desktop-and-public-folders-show-as-type-link-broken-inode-symlink

Also on 20.04: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1482903/home-directories-turned-into-symbolic-links-without-telling-me-the-reason

These posts are recent ~1 month. Temporary fix is to have at least one file in the folders so as to avoid them being deleted.
