This is more a UI issue . We should probably have one single entry when both drivers are present and let GDAL pick up the driver it wants (FileGDB will be used when present because it has editing capabilities)

But, It will be good if we can choose OpenFileGDB even when File GDB driver is installed. I have read somewhere that OpenFileGDB is many time faster then File GDB. I am having some slow issues when using File GDB on network.

Still valid for QGIS 3.22.x and 3.24.x.
