The bug
A sculk shrieker cannot cause the darkness effect to players in its vicinity if manually placed or generated by a charge.
The ability for sculk shriekers to inflict this effect was one of the qualities highlighted at Minecraft Live 2021, and their inability to do this is also unintuitive as the block state simply states it cannot summon wardens, not that it is completely incapable of triggering the effect.
How to reproduce
Place a sculk shrieker
Be in Survival
Stand on the sculk shrieker
Expected results
As the player is in the vicinity of the block, the effect would be triggered.
Actual results
It is not.

If this is "working as intended", how are we supposed to get the How Did We Get Here advancement if we can't place sculk shriekers by an ocean monument?
Can confirm this is still an issue in 22w16b.
