      1. Add items:
        1. Multibranch Pipeline, Folder, Organization Folder, FreeStyle Project 
        2. Set Description for each one
      2. Create view with Description field
      3. Observe, that Description is seen only for FreeStyleProject

      Screenshot below shows also 13-year old Description Column Plugin, which also supports tooltip on hover, which works. So it is possible to get description.

          Or is it something Item functionality developers must implement?

          core doesn't define a Description column so this is not a core issue. What you use is from branch-api plugin I think and it seems this one doesn't support showing the description of folders. It will show for multibranch folders and probably orgs the github description instead if it is not empty.
          There is the extra columns plugin that also has a Project Description column and that works fine it seems.
