Just activate the option to keep a local copy, right click the folder your files are in and choose "keep local copy"

You say this like it makes sense that this functionality isn't the default. Why the fuck does that make sense to you?!

It makes sense for SharePoint when there can easily be enough data to cause space problems on employee computers.

It doesn’t really make sense for it to be the default for personal OneDrives though.
