Surprisingly it does show these posts on your "Likes" page in your profile. But they aren't marked as liked, and liking one will increase the like indicator.

The UI doesn't verify if the user is allowed to like because that's the backend's job. Tom Scott has a video on it. https://youtube.com/watch?v=RY_2gElt3SA https://youtube.com/watch?v=RY_2gElt3SA
