target block can not be powered by experience bottles

A target block can be powered by the most projectiles like arrows, tridents, snowballs, splash- and lingering potions but not experience bottles.

How to reproduce:

1. place a target block

2. place a Redstone line next to it

3. throw experience bottles at it

What I observed: it didn’t send a redstone signal. 

What I expected: It sends a redstone signal.
