{Addressables] AssetReference.editorAsset occasionally fails to load an Asset

Package: Build Pipeline - Addressables

-

How to reproduce:
1. Open the attached "1414841_Repro.zip" project
2. Open the Scene "SampleScene" (found in the Assets/Scenes folder)
3. Enter the Play Mode

Expected results: No errors are thrown
Actual results: The "Editor asset is null" error is thrown (one or multiple)

Reproducible with: 1.19.19 (2019.4.38f1, 2020.3.33f1, 2021.3.1f1, 2022.1.0f1, 2022.2.0a11)

Note:
- It seems that the failure rate isn't consistent and can't pinpoint when it will fail to load

  1. Resolution Note:

    Problem is with the project.
    In the project "pvp_road_card" has AssetReference and AssetReference2 not set to any asset.
    The issue is then with the check for `if (assetRef == null)`. AssetReference is not the same as a direct reference to say a GameObject that can be check for null. Although it is a class and can be null. In this case the project has them as [SerializeField], this means that AssetReference class data will be serialised with default data and not be null.
    To correctly address a serialised field as not being assigned `if (assetRef == null || assetRef.RuntimeKeyIsValid() == false)` should be used.
