Firework rockets travel far less when launched by a dispenser

When shooting a firework from a dispenser, the rocket does not travel as far as it used to.
I love the idea of having it shoot out it's respective sides, and I don't mind that it flies straight either. I just think it need's to have the same amount of distance/height it used to.

To Reproduce

give @s minecraft:firework_rocket{Fireworks: {Flight: 5, Explosions: [{Type: 1, Flicker: 1, Trail: 1, Colors :[I; 8073150, 6719955, 12801229], FadeColors: [I; 14188952, 4312372]}]}} 64

Fire this firework rocket manually, and fire it by a dispenser.

(This command comes from MC-168614)

There needs to also be a way to retain the random flight of fireworks when shot from dispensers. Because they shoot straight now, 1.15 ruined the ability to have good automated firework shows.

Still happens in 1.16.1 and 20w27a

I think the fireworks fired from the dispenser are moving at a constant speed.
I don't know if this is the correct behavior.
I want to fly fireworks far as before.

I don't mind them going straight up, makes for an easier way to make a perfect firework show. Otherwise I just would like these fireworks to shoot up further and with different increments. Maybe allow us to have 5 gunpowder height levels. And space them much higher up. While the lowest tier would be lets say 20-25 blocks?

Can confirm in 20w49a.

Can confirm in 1.18.2 and 22w12a.

Still confirmed in 1.18.2, and as well as the pre-releases of 1.19

Can confirm in 1.19.2.

Confirmed for 1.20.4

Can confirm in 1.21.1

Player-launched fireworks accelerate their Y motion by +0.04 each tick and dispenser-launched fireworks don't have the Y acceleration.

The acceleration difference can be observed with a command block set to Repeat the following command:
