Glow Lichen cannot be obtained with a silk touch tool. In the latest snapshot 22w14a, sculk vines were made obtainable with Silk Touch, so I don't see why Glow Lichen shouldn't be able to as well. Sculk veins and glow lichen have near indentical behavior, so I don't see why glow lichen is grouped with shear-obtainables rather than silk touch-obtainables like sculk veins are.

The bug you're claiming this is a duplicate of does not mention glow lichen, as glow lichen is more closely related to sculk veins than it is to vines. Please re-open and wait for a confirmation from a developer on whether this is intended or not.
Just because an old report does not mention a new block, does not mean that the new block isn't part of the same group of blocks the report is about. Glow lichen is a plant that drops itself only when mined with shears, exactly like the other blocks listed.
Thank you for your report!
