Does it make sense for System.Drawing.Imaging.EncoderParameter to have twice the value type but no value property?

[severity:It's more difficult to complete my work]
The definition of the [`EncoderParameter`](https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/api/system.drawing.imaging.encoderparameter) class seems quite odd:

This class provides two properties for retrieving the same information (`Type` and `ValueType`) but no property to retrieve the actual _value_.

What is the reasoning behind this? Is this a bug perhaps?

What sense does it make to retrieve the type of a value twice but not being able to retrieve the actual value?
