Unexpected behaviour of `$field->exists()`

The CMS Questions
1

I have a block field with a foo field. It exists, has content but $field->exists() returns false. This is a bug, right? $field->isNotEmpty() has the expected behavior though.

get_class($block->foo()); // Kirby\Cms\Field 
$block->foo()->value(); // 'bar'
$block->content()->toArray(); // [ 'foo' => 'bar' ]
array_key_exists('foo', $block->content()->toArray()); // true
$block->foo()->exists(); // false
$block->foo()->isNotEmpty(); // true

PHP 8.0.19

the exists methods checks for the parent models content. so from a field inside a block the immediate parent is not a model with content class object but a block.

Checks if the field exists in the content data array
