Because you use virtualization and the goal of it is to virtualize or abstract everything? So yes, this is expected behavior with the default CPU type.
If you really want to show the CPU there, just use host here:

After that your CPU will show the host cpu type. Your machine is still shown as QEmu as well as your disks and most of its virtualized hardware, so I don't know how much you gain with this.
 
The reason im asking this, is because i used to be able to run hyper-V in windows without any problem (nested virtualization), this is no longer the case. The vm is currently set to host cpu, but i still see this ' 'QEMU Virtual CPU version 2.5+ '
 
Are you sure it is set to "host"? Because on that same screen my Windows 10 VM shows "Xeon CPU ..." as expected when CPU type is "host". Did you change the CPU type and forget to restart the VM (NOT just a reboot)?
I'm sure. I think this is the main issue as to why i cant enabel hyper-V without crashing windows
 
Update, i managed to workout around the wrong CPU listed. But still enabling hyper-V breaks windows, and starting the vm it goes straight to recovery mode
