I suspect that it has something to do with a desktop.ini file that
QNAP/Synology/etc. put within that folder that queues Windows to display a
certain icon. See:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/shell/how-to-customize-folders-with-desktop-ini
https://superuser.com/questions/149728/how-can-i-make-desktop-ini-work-on-network-locations/1085558#1085558
https://superuser.com/questions/685732/set-custom-folder-icon-for-a-network-folder-in-windows-file-explorer

So, desktop.ini needs to be marked as a system file within the shared
folder, and then have the correct options put in it to make it a recycle
folder. I suspect if you look closely enough on the QNAP/Synology device
you'll see the desktop.ini file.
