By default, the “backup” option on this particular folder is turned off, even if “backup” for the main folder is turned on.

Since they are not stored on the storage cloud, the RAW files do not appear on the main feed of the Google Photos app.

Google Photos version 6.20 discloses an upcoming alteration that will always present RAW images in the main feed, irrespective of the user's Backup state. This means the RAW file will be visible alongside every image even if Google Photos “backup” is turned off.
