Is this expected? Yes, this working as designed. It isn't necessarily good for all directories to be striped, as that adds overhead without necessary improving performance. The current recommendation is that DNE should be used for e.g. a top-level directory to distribute files and subdirectories across MDTs, or in the case of large directories with millions of files.
