LXC = Linux Containers, so lxcbr0 is a Linux container bridge.

But why is it bridged anywhere, and its status is connected

Is this a remote connection somewhere?

Did you install waydroid at any point? Or any other software depending on lxc?

Bridge means usually that it makes a bridge between the lxc internal network and your real network, allowing the (e.g. containers in this case, VMs in other cases) to communicate with the outside world while still having a virtualized network of their own.
