Welcome to the community rmk3500
When you invite people to a shared folder, all members of that folder can see the full member list. There isn’t a setting to hide other members or limit visibility within a shared folder.
If you’d like recipients to access the files without seeing who else you’ve shared them with, the best option is to use a shared link instead of adding them as folder members. When you create a shared link, recipients can view or download the content, but they won’t see who else has access.

That example appears to be a shared folder, not a shared link, as the members are visible. You wouldn't see members appear like that for a shared link that anyone can view. So, in that case, XH and ZW can see each other, and anyone else invited to the folder in the same manner would see all other members as well.
