When placing a twisting vine on any block the age of the twisting vine is 0, meaning that it will grow to the full 25 block height.

Kelp placed by a player gets a random age, as does bamboo. If weeping vines also gets a 0 age when placed by a player it should also be fixed.
In my own survival world, when I place a twisting or weeping vine it has a random age, however on a server I play on it always gets age 0, friends have tried and they get 0 as well on other worlds. Both worlds have a random tick speed of 1, the only difference is that I created my single player survival world post 1.16 update, while the server updated the nether chunks that had been explored or something.
Just tested this in a new 1.16.2 single player world - and all three have a non-zero age when placed by player. So I'm assuming this is now fixed?
The fix should be reverted as MC-214232 has an Assignee and Priority.
That is the case for weeping vines as well as kelp. It is intended.
