have you moved yours around at some time, Bits ?

Maybe some time long ago when there was a big blowup about it, maybe a
decade or so ago and cdrtools rpm could no longer be shipped as is
because of the restricted license.
I download the archive, currently schily-2020-07-01.tar.bz2, run
make ; make install, then create links in /usl/local/bin to where
"make install" installed all the tools.
If we are going to look into the difference between us, you will need.....
to provide what package you are using, and check each occurrence of
the application location.

Why would one want to list the directory contents of a file. /usr/local/bin/cdrecord is a file not a directory.

You also need to set up the various links, like in /etc/alternatives

[faeychild@unimatrix ~]$ dir /usr/local/bin/cdrecord

/usr/local tells you this was not installed from a Mageia repository.
Get the program from http://cdrtools.sourceforge.net/private/cdrecord.html
[faeychild@unimatrix ~]$ type cdrecord
cdrecord is /usr/bin/cdrecord
Be careful. That may be a link to wodim, an ancient version of
cdrecord.

No, If that were true most of the programs in a Linux distro could not
be shipped. There was a blowup in which both the writer of cdrecord and moreso the runners of the Debian distro behaved like children in a
schoolyard fight. The only people that suffered were the users like you
and me.
Mageia got themselves caught up in that fight and they supply a bastard called cdrkit, which is an ancient version of cdrecord for which the
program is called wodim, and which sets up a link from cdrecord to /etc/alternatives/cdrecord to /usr/bin/wodim.
Get the current version of cdrecord and Bit mentions below.
