That's the expected behavior, Outlook requires profile reconfiguration to reflect such changes. There are other methods apart from profile reconfiguration, but those are not officially supported, so use on your own risk: https://www.slipstick.com/outlook/rename-exchange-mailbox-account-outlook/

Thank you for your information.
May I know what time or when the update of the display name will be reflected? I just discovered that besides my Admin 365 center's site, all the Microsoft Apps are still displaying the old name.

To you, it may be a glitch. If it is a glitch, it should have been resolved after more than 20 hours. However, it seems the issue could not be resolved by simply waiting. Your link provided is not relevant in my case because it deals with the installed Outlook software. I am talking about the Microsoft 365 apps.
Thank you.
