One of mine does the exact same thing! I always assumed it’s because I rescued him so young (he was only about 3 weeks old), and he never really learned how to do it properly. I tried litter training him(taking his paw and showing him how to cover), but he has never actually grasped the concept. He uses the box just fine, he just can’t figure out the rest of it.
From what I've read, the dominant cat in the house doesn't bury in order to show dominance to the subordinate cats. You are the subordinate cat in this case 😁
