Description
WordPress keeps/processes shortcodes for the full text feed, but removes them from the automatic excerpt in the summary feed.
If you use a page builder theme, everything is wrapped inside a shortcode, so the summary feed is always empty.
I think the RSS feed should always contain the actual text that is also displayed when you visit the article. So shortcode output should also be included.

When provided, custom (manual) excerpts would show up in a summary feed, already in WordPress 5.5. You can copy and paste exactly what you want the summary to be in those (even with a page builder theme/plugin).
There also might be a way to use the wp_trim_excerpt filter for automated fallbacks, though my testing is unsuccessful the way I tried it.
This ticket was discussed in a triage session today.
It was decided to close the ticket as wontfix as excerpts do not support shortcodes in WordPress core and now that the block-editor is the preferred editor it's generally considered best not to expand shortcode support.
