Talismans Doesn't Count as Runes

I've been playing the current league in PoE 2 as a rarity aura bot with a friend and I've been using the Morior Invictus unique armor.

Up until today I've been using Great Iron Runes in the armor because for some reason I couldn't get any rabbit talismans from the Currency Exchange.
When I logged in today I saw that I could exchange some currency for those talismans so I did, 5 rabbit talismans for my armor, 40% more rarity, awesome.

Now, my armor has "6% to all elemental resistance per socket filled" but I noticed that I was a lot more squishy after the change but I couldn't put my finger on why until I noticed that all my resistance had dropped, by a lot.

Apparently the talismans don't count towards the "per socket filled". I changed one of the talismans in the armor to a Iron Rune again and I got the 6% resistance immediately. I then changed the Iron rune to a Fox talisman and I lost the 6%.

Is it a bug or on purpose? I mean, even with my rarity find at about 370% it's not like me and my friend is breaking the bank so I don't see why the armor wouldn't work with talismans.
The aurobot build I'm following is from 0.2 so I'm guessing there could be a change and if it is, it's a stupid change.
You play that, I play that. Let us all be friends.

"Guilds rarity aura"?

Not my personal build but the guilds build, rarity gear shared between the ritualist members that leveled their toons for guild group runs.

Ah, so that's what you meant.
Good luck with it. May the loot Gods roll in your favor.
