From what I gather, this is expected and isn't a bug. An option would be to move these Forms into a group, which I understand would preserve the Forms independently of any individual users.
Transfer ownership of your form
Just to add some additional info from the FAQ:
The original owner of a form is no longer with my organization and/or their Microsoft Forms license has been removed. What happens to the data that is associated with the form they created?
All account-related data will be deleted 30 days after a user account has been deleted from your tenant (Azure AD).

kscollon I created a form which disappears from the "My Forms" list as soon as I close my browser window. I was able to go back to my history to pull up the page where you can view the form and responses, but this is the only way I could get back to the form. It's very frustrating and disappointing.
I tried to create a new duplicate form to see if it would save:
I create the new form with title only --> it saves and shows up under "My Forms"
I add one question (date question) --> it saves and continues to be listed under "My Forms"
I add a second question (free text) --> it saves and continues to be listed under "My Forms"
I add a third question (free text) --> the form has now disappeared from "My Forms" with no way to retrieve it other than going to my browser's history.
