Steps to reproduce the issue

• Have a site with at least one enabled content plugin that does some sort of content replacement and adds some scripts (i.e. image gallery tools, video embedding...)
• Create an article that contains some content that triggers the content plugin (i.e. adds scripts to the output)
• Add a mod_articles_news module to any position
• Select the category of the article created above
• Disable the showing of the intro text in the module options
• Observe the HTML output in the frontend: The intro text is not shown (as expected), but scripts that were added are in the output

Expected result

• Content is only content.prepared if it is actually selected to be shown

Actual result

• Content is always content.prepared, even if the introtext is not displayed.

System information (as much as possible)

Joomla 4.3

Additional comments

In mod_articles_category, the preparation only happens if the option to show the introtext is set:

In mod_articles_news, there is no such condition

This behavior is already like this in 3.10.
