Resolution Note (2020.2.X):
Handles drawn through OnSceneGUI are by design not drawn in the Game View. MonoBehaviour components are able to register a callback in managed code to override the gizmo drawing, however Light is a native component.
As far as gizmos are concerned, this is working as designed. It would be preferable to move gizmo drawing (for both Scene and Game views) into Editor code, which would avoid this issue and allow inheriting Editor classes to override gizmo drawing. Work is scheduled within SRP and Scene Tooling to add this functionality.
