Blocking a guardian attack with a shield decreases its durability and absorbs almost all damage

The bug

Blocking a guardian attack with a shield decreases its durability and absorbs some damage. It doesn't make sense, because laser is not a melee attack.

Cannot reproduce. While the laser still inflicts damage, the damage is reduced greatly (1/2 heart compared to 3 hearts). That in itself might be a bug, but is different than that which is reported here.

Even without an unbreaking enchanted shield, the damage is reduced if blocking with a shield but in return the durability is decreased at the same time.

Affects 1.21. Related to MC-225132 as well, as the underlying issue seems to be that the guardian beam is considered a melee attack.
