This is Quasi-connectivity (aka qc) it’s a bug turned feature. Look it up on the wiki if you want more information.

It’s quasi-connectivity and it is essentially because a long time ago, they accidentally used the same activation bounding box for pistons, droppers and dispensers (maybe more?) as doors. This allows them to treat the block directly above them as being able to power them, same as an iron door would open if you power the top half instead of the bottom half. The only extra requirement for activation the piston requires is a block update, and that is caused by the piston pulling the honey block next to itself.

Quasi-connectivity
A bug turned feature with pistons, droppers and dispensers in Java, originating from copy-pasted iron door code from when they were added
Basically, QC blocks can be activated as if they are 2 blocks tall
A thing to note with this however is that QC powered blocks need a block update (thing that observers detect or makes floating sand/gravel fall for example) to realize if they’ve been powered/unpowered

When a mommy red stone block and a mommy gold block and a daddy piston all love each other very much they hug repeatedly in the sky infinitely.

No idea but it could be that it glitched out
