The bug
Nether stars cannot be destroyed by explosions, and beacons are made with a nether star. So why can beacons be destroyed by explosions?
Steps to reproduce
Throw a beacon and a nether star on the ground
Place some TNT nearby
Ignite the TNT
→ ❌ Notice how the nether star item is not destroyed by the explosion, but the beacon is, therefore indicating that beacon item entities can be destroyed by explosions.
Expected Behavior
The expected behavior would be that beacon item entities cannot be destroyed by explosions.

I wouldn’t consider it a duplicate of that. That ticket doesn’t mention beacons and nether stars cannot be blown up in item form. This is what makes it inconsistent.
I'd recommend making items immune to explosions controllable via a tag. Perhaps this could be mentioned in the ticket as a potential fix?
I believe this is intended.
