LAST does not check if the mod is present

[Clayell]

This was originally a question from a few months ago that I asked sarbian, who didn't know and redirected me to blowfish, who hasn't responded yet.

Is it intentional that LAST just assumes that the mod is properly installed already, while other directives like BEFORE and AFTER do check if the mod is installed correctly?

LAST
(it just says that CheckNeeds is always true, which even FOR doesn't do)

public bool CheckNeeds(INeedsChecker needsChecker, IPatchProgress progress) => true;

AFTER
BEFORE

Just hoping this behavior can be confirmed intentional so it can be added to the MM wiki, or if this is a bug.
(specifically Patch Ordering)
