So after even more research I think this might be "normal". Looking at this example of what Ultimaker calls a "good" print, it has what I assume is the same line https://ultimaker.com/en/resources/21330-what-does-a-successful-first-layer-look-like.
Also, I read somewhere today that this was a requested Cura feature. From what I can tell it helps to wipe the tip while traveling maybe?
Anyhow. I just wanted to make sure it was not an issue with my setup.

So after studying the g-code, and watching a simple test print I have narrowed down the issue. Its happening at the end of a layer, when the head travels to another side to start printing over there.
Looking at the Cura settings a retraction should be happening anytime the head travels more than 0.7mm (Retraction Minimum Travel). But this is not the case (my test print is >10mm in both directions). There is only 2 retractions being written to the g-code. One at the end of the brim, and one at the very end of the print.
Any input would be appreciated.
