getFieldValue() not returning eager-loaded data

[mattsbanner]

Description

I'm not completely sure if this is intended behaviour or not but when using with() on an Entry query to eager-load the relations getFieldValue() returns the query, not the eager-loaded results.

This makes it difficult to get the results of all fields with getFieldValues().

If this is intended, is there a way to get all field values including eager-loaded data, without having to use something like $entry->fields() to fetch the values individually with $entry->{$fieldName}?

Steps to reproduce

When running this code

$entry = Entry::find()
    ->with([
        'relatedCategories',
        'contentBuilder'
    ])
    ->section('pages')
    ->one();

$entry->relatedCategories and $entry->contentBuilder return the expected eager-loaded results.

[
    craft\elements\Category,
    craft\elements\Category
]

[
    craft\elements\MatrixBlock
]

However, $entry->getFieldValues() will return

  "relatedCategories" => craft\elements\db\CategoryQuery
  "contentBuilder" => craft\elements\db\MatrixBlockQuery

Agree that’s a little awkward. The change could have some unexpected behavior though, so I just changed in for Craft 4 rather than the next 3.x release.
