should be reopen :
you have not understand that it should be seen in ADMIN VIEW ( to be edited for example)
OK, issue confirmed. Reopening.

There had been a few discussions / issues opened about this before.
One of these discussions had been opened by me.
please read it here:
[4.0] [RFC] Viewing access levels inconsistently mixed with create / edit ACL
#17913
This 'issue' that you describe here,
applies not only to menu management
but in all (almost all ?) backend views
Users that can edit a record are not able to list it in backend views if they do not have the access level of the record
It was decided that only for super-admins all records regardless of access level will be visible
and that nothing more will be done for other usergroups about this.
The source of the problem is that originally the access levels were meant for frontend views
but then sometime at J1.6? or J1.7 ? (i do not remember) it started to be used in backend views, and then eventually all (?) backend views were using this.
My suggestion for simple implementation and for being performance-wise
was to add an 'access_manage' property to the records and use this instead of using 'access' for listing records in "management views"
Another open issue for this is
#23182
I really do not have something more to add.

I just checked it on latest Joomla 4 installation, Administrator user group has Configure ACL & Options permission set to Allowed for com_menus, so administrators will be allowed to view all menu items, including the one with Guest access level
Therefore, I would say this issue is invalid now and close this issue. If you can still see the issue with Joomla 4, please feel free to re-open the issue. Thanks !

Your expectation is wrong. See ACL tutorial https://docs.joomla.org/J3.x:Access_Control_List_Tutorial.
