Note: There has been some confusion on whether this is a feature request or a bug. A previously reported bug for Java Edition, MC-118095, was closed as working as intended. Mojang Support has also pointed to a post on the feedback site when contacted directly. As there has been no official statement on whether this is a feature request or a bug, it is unknown if it is a feature request or a bug. If the issue is closed as working as intended, then please move all attention to the feedback page post (linked above).
If you break gravel with a tool such as a shovel, the gravel has a chance of turning into a flint. However, if you drop it on a non-solid block such as a torch, the gravel will not turn into a flint.
Steps to reproduce:
Place a non-solid on the ground (such as a torch)
Place a solid block above it
Place a large tower of gravel above it
Break the solid block to let the gravel fall on it
Expected results:
A mix of gravel and flint drops should be around the non-solid block
Actual results:
There is only gravel

This is not a bug. Gravel when it falls onto a torch, or another non-full block, like rails, campfires, closed gates, etc drop in block form.

To Jonathan Hanzel,
Even now, if you drop the gravel on a torch, it will certainly break. However, what I want to convey in this article is not that point, but the fact that flint stones cannot be obtained.

BugTester55,
＞ This is not a bug.
No,
That is the answer that misunderstood the issue.
The content of this time is that you can not get flint when you break it by dropping it.
Can confirm. However per MC-118095 this appears to be a feature request. Perhaps Mojang should double-check.
Also what does your last comment even mean?
Going back through old reports. This is still present in 1.17.40

Is this normal? I thought that Gravel always drops itself if it lands on a torch
