[MC-274013] Modifying trident/item entity to have 0 durability doesn't delete it

Throw a trident in survival mode, and enter either of the two below commands.

/item modify entity @n[type=minecraft:trident] contents {"function":"minecraft:set_damage","damage":0}

/data modify entity @n[type=minecraft:trident] item.components.minecraft:damage set value 250

This sets the trident entity to have 0 durability, which is expected to delete it, just as an item entity with 0 durability would be deleted. But it doesn't get deleted. Picking up the trident, you'll see it has 0 durability.

Oh wait, I just realized I was mixing this up with count. Durability 0 never deletes items, so this is probably WAI.

Can confirm in 1.21, related to MC-139044 MC-120664.
This can occur for any item though, which can be demonstrated by using the following command but replacing the trident with any item:

/give @p trident[minecraft:max_damage=1,damage=1]
