AskKwesion There's only one list, but it can be viewed either in the SharePoint site where it's created/lives or in the Microsoft Lists app. They're just two different "windows" to the same data.

I have not found a way to hide the list from the MS Lists app that doesn't also hide it from SharePoint. There is a "hidden" attribute for each list that can be set using Powershell or an HTTP request (from a Power Automate flow) which prevents the list from showing up in "site contents". However, if users have a direct link to the list (e.g.: if you put that link in the site navigation), they'll be able to access the list through that link.
