I lose lp when coming in 4th place

This cant be intentional, considering 4th place is in the upper half meaning you have technically “won” and should at MINIMUM be going even and gaining/losing none.

Please tell me this is a bug and not intended.

It is intended. If your mmr is above the average mmr of the game you are in, you are expected to place higher to gain mmr. The ranked system does not want to reward a silver player for placing fourth in a game full of iron players.

Depends were you playing with sombody who has a lower rank than you ? Cause if so yes that can happen you loos lp with the 4th place if you play with sombody who has a lower rank than you. Had the same thing with a friend he was bronz 4 i silver 2 i ended 4th and still lost lp.

I agree losing LP for winning a match is complete bs. Riot needs to fix this game asap
