Because the contacts information are Only being Sourced from iCloud & are Not Appearing in " On my mac "


On My Mac, as the name denotes, are contact information Stored " On My Mac " which is located on the Physical Drive of the computer


Image below and On My Mac has exactly 1 Contact - Apple Canada


All other contact information is stored on iCloud.
