New Communication Sites
/sites and /teams depends on your setting the the Sharepoint Online admin UI. You can pick which one self-service sites are created under, and you have set it to /teams in your tenant. But agree, you might want comm sites on /sites. So you would have to switch it to /sites, create the comm sites, and switch it back so that Groups go on /teams.
I've often thought about creating Groups and Teams under /teams rather than /sites, as a means of avoiding any potential URL conflicts, but I've been hesitant to make that split. Is doing so a fairly common practice, or have most people been like me and kept everything under /sites?
"These new sites are created under /teams. Wouldn't it make more sense for them to be under /sites? Or was this intentional"
I've just started playing with this ( who hasn't? ) in my new development tenant. The communciation sites are created under /sites for me and the team sites are created under /sites too. this seems to be differnt from what you are reporting.
