I literally just opened this why is i

Im using unity 2021.3.15f1

I used the 3d template because I dont have a URP choice in the unity hub, but i installed URP through the asset manager and have it in my project

but regardless I keep running into insanely dumb walls that are hard to troubleshoot

Your graph is targetting Universal, so only works in URP. You need to add the Built-in target to support Built-in render pipeline (used by 3D template)

Otherwise, if you want URP, make sure it is configured properly.
