Databricks secrets visible in cleartext

I have a requirement that I need a secret when starting a cluster in databricks. And I found following way of providing the secret to my init script. https://docs.databricks.com/security/secrets/secrets.html#store-the-path-to-a-secret-in-an-environme... . Now this worked fine, I was able to store the secret and provide it to init script. But when I open a web terminal and tried to print this secret, to my surprise it was printing this secret in cleartext format. What kind of secrets is it if it can be printed in cleartext by any user in workspaces. Now I'm not sure If I'm doing it incorrectly somewhere or is this thing common in databricks. Would appreciate any clarity on this.
