This is a new feature by Microsoft which is currently rolling out to all SharePoint tenants. Here are details about this feature: 

Here's is roadmap ID for this feature: SharePoint: Microsoft Lists - Applied Filters 

 

Unfortunately, I don't think there is any way to disable this feature for selected tenant/site/list for now.

 

You can either provide feedback about this feature on SharePoint feedback portal or raise support ticket with Microsoft directly and report it: Get M365 support - online support 

 

Update: Seems like Microsoft started rolling back this feature change for now.

        Jlim_150 agree with all of the comments.  The feature can be a little dangerous if users, that shouldn't be, start going in and modifying filters. There might be some users you just want to hide that from just to avoid issues down the road.

      same here ugh WHY. do we know if non-site owners can see it? bc mine says "this site uses classic filters that you can view and edit [here]" - and since it's a public view, general users shouldn't be able to view and edit that screen. if it's just me that can see it, still stupid but less of a problem.
