minecraft:comparator not named!

testforblock ~ ~ ~2 minecraft:comparator
[21:55:59] There is no such block with ID/name comparator
testforblock ~ ~ ~2 404
[21:53:46] The block at 604,1,-168 is tile.comparator.name (expected: tile.air.name).

This is unexpected behavior. Why are comparators not named?

I finally found I need to test for unpowered_comparator and powered_comparator, but it this is not listed in the "name" given in inventory.
