resource is not available as for type declarations because it says nothing about what type of resource it is. Your function would allow GD resources, but also file streams and cURL handles and other things you don't want. The type would be a false sense of security and so is not supported.

I get that. I just find the wording of the error ambiguous
Why would resource even be accepted as a type ?

The "must be an instance of resource, resource given" confusion sounds familiar but I can't find an existing bug for it. I'm not sure it's easily fixable anyways as what's happening is that PHP is trying to get a variable that's an instance of a class ("resource") and it found a non-object variable type (a resource) instead - the error message just fills in a "must be an instance of $expected, $actual given" template.

Anyway, I did find bug #71518 from 2016 where I gave a more helpful answer.
