The issue:
Redstone torch doesn't power the piston underneath the block that is underneath the torch itself.
What was expected:
The piston extends when gets placed next to the block that is powered by the redstone torch.
The following screenshot explains the problem with the piston placed in different places next to the powered block(as it was supposed to be)
Update: The versions were affected by this bug are from 0.16 beta to the current version.

Are you sure?
It worked just fine in 0.15 versions, and if it was really a bug I didn't see it in the changelog website..
I'm pretty sure. If you test it on the java version (using a repeater instead of a piston because QC would power the piston - which would be unrelated to what you're saying) you'll see that the repeater doesn't get powered at all. A redstone torch will only strongly power a block that is directly above it
This is currently Working as Intended. Bedrock Edition does not have Quasi Connectivity, a popular bug with pistons in Java Edition. This means that pistons must be powered by Redstone or a powered block, torches only power the block above them and power all dust connected to them, not the one below.
Quasi Connectivity is not currently planned to be added to Bedrock Edition.
I'm not sure if the latest beta is affected too or not.
