Just checked: same happens on various installations of Ubuntu 18.04 on 3 different hardware.
All systems are just installed from the ISO and not customized at all.

Ubuntu is configured to show all "normal users" on the welcome screen, that you can select one of them for logging in. In (the unlikely) case that you have to log in with a system user that is not shown on the selection screen, you have to use "not listed" and type user name and password. Of course you can also use "not listed" for your own user that is also shown anyhow.
