As title says, End Stone Bricks are much less durable than raw End Stone, and the Ender Dragon can destroy it.
End Bricks appear to have the same blast resistance and hardness as sandstone.
This is inconsistent with other blocks' brick variants:
Stone <= Stone Bricks (+ its variants)
Prismarine <= Prismarine Bricks and Dark Prismarine
Netherrack <= Nether Bricks
Clay <= Bricks
...End Stone !<= End Stone Bricks

How to Prove:
*Ignite TNT in a thick bed of End Stone, and then ignite another TNT block in a thick bed of End Stone Bricks. The bed with End bricks should have a much bigger crater than the End Stone.
*With mobGriefing set to true", have an Ender Dragon fly into End Stone Bricks.

Blast resistance doesn't determine if the Ender Dragon will destroy the block. It's based on whitelist, just like for what blocks Endermen can pick up.
This has been partially fixed in 19w45a.
The blast resistence and hardness values have been corrected, but End Stone Bricks still get destroyed by the Ender Dragon. Almost there, Mojang. 😉
Done I have creating a new ticket : MC-165218.
How is this a bug? endstone is more blast resistant so the dragon doesn't accidentally destroy the blocks. harvesting them and crafting them could potentially change the mechanics of combat of the dragon fight as you would be able to use endstone bricks as a dragon resistant structure.
