That is the way NVMe was designed, as a device can contain multiple namespaces
(read as "storage areas"). /dev/nvme0 is a *character* device representing the
first NVMe device, while /dev/nvme0n1 is a *block* device representing the
first namespace on said device, and /dev/nvme0n1p1 is a *block* device
representing the first partition in said namespace. /dev/nvme0n1 is the NVMe
equivalent to hdd's /dev/sda.

$ ls -l /dev/sda* /dev/nvme*
crw------- 1 root root 243, 0 May 10 20:40 /dev/nvme0
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 259, 0 May 10 20:40 /dev/nvme0n1
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 259, 1 May 10 20:40 /dev/nvme0n1p1
brw-rw---- 1 root disk   8, 0 May 10 20:40 /dev/sda
brw-rw---- 1 root disk   8, 1 May 10 20:40 /dev/sda1
