Although MC-3366 fixed the end portal block being visible from the bottom, it is still invisible when viewed from the side. If the portal effect was applied to the side, it may end up looking a lot like a gateway portal, so an alternative fix would be to shrink the hitbox so it has no thickness.
Steps to Reproduce
Summon an end portal block.
/setblock ~ ~ ~3 minecraft:end_portalLook at the sides of this block.
Take note as to whether or not end portals are transparent from the sides.
Observed Behavior
End portals are transparent from the sides.
Expected Behavior
End portals would not be transparent from the sides. Instead, they should have some kind of side texture and not just be completely transparent or the end portal block itself should be made thin so that it doesn't have a side texture.

The same thing can be seen with nether portals. No sure if this deserves a new ticket or not though.
Nether portals are MC-167885 and intended.
Probably intentional, because you can't see the sides of an end portal in normal gameplay without using exploits/glitches.
I am able to confirm this behavior in 21w43a. Here are some extra details regarding this problem.

Can confirm. May be intended.
