This is because you are not specifying block states. If you use /setblock ~ ~ ~ minecraft:glow_lichen[down=true,east=false,north=false,south=false,up=false,waterlogged=false,west=false], it will be visible. If all of the block states are set to false, it is invisible. The same thing applies to vines.

Please don't fix it completely and leave the option to place them with all sides turned off. It's our only way to create invisible light sources and it doesn't seem likely that we'll get another one soon

An alternative for this when this would get fixed would be the light block which is currently only a thing on bedrock.

The Glow Lichen seams to exist, but doesn't have any hitbox.

Can confirm in 21w14a. Video attached.

It's weird that they added Light Blocks in 21w13a but still didn't fix this
