The universal apps changed into apple silicon overnight

[Maobin]

All these apps in my application list changed into the "kind" of "Apple Silicon" today. They were still "universal" the other day. Can any one tell me what happened to these apps? Why did they change into "Apple Silicon" all of a sudden? Is this a Bug?I am on macOS 11.5.2, and have applied no updates to the OS or the apps recently. Thanks a lot!

My guess would be they were already AS, and somehow the Finder somehow finally got the "kind" right.

Thank you! I think I finally find out the reason. This was caused by a cleaner app named "Tencent Lemon". It has a feature called "Universal Binary files", when enabled it can "remove unneeded Universal Binary files for another architecture chip". I did a cleaning up using this app yesterday, which may have removed the " unneeded Universal Binary" for Intel chip, so the app is no longer universal, and thus changed into the Kind of AS.
