/setblock can be used to put blocks in all kinds of “illegal” positions, for example levers floating in air (MCPE-52857) or water in the nether. The reason why is that it skips the usual block checks and block updates that occur when placing a block. I’m not sure that’s a bug, since it is only possible with cheats and it could be convenient for map-making.
There is still an open report at MCPE-52857 that hasn't been updated in a while.

Are you expecting that the game would treat a player running the /setblock command as if the player destroyed the block? I don't think that's what on_player_destroyed is supposed to detect, nor is it how the /setblock command works.
In general, /setblock does not function as an in-world event, for example, setting a block does not trigger block updates around it. Although MCPE-52857 remains open, I think the general behavior of /setblock is intended because it likely calls the same internal function that allows the game to change block data without triggering further events, for example when generating structures.
The problem seems to be that the /setblock command does not update the placed block based on what is around it. However, the fact that some blocks instantly break suggests that the coding around this is not consistent.
Relates to MC-31100.
