Resolution Note:
This is expected behaviour. Asset Operation in InitializeOnLoad should be avoid because this is called before asset importing is completed. In 2021.2 a variant of the OnPostprocessAllAssets callback got introduced that includes a didDomainReload parameter. This callback is safe for asset loading.

It is also mentioned in the doc that asset operation in InitalizeOnLoad should be avoided:
