Why does FileUpload not respect ->rules() ?

It seems that when specifying rules to a FileUpload field, it is not validated. Is that expected behaviour?

FileUpload::make('csv_file')
    ->label(__('CSV File'))
    ->rules(['mimes:csv,txt']) // This allows images just fine


I know I probably should use ->acceptedFileTypes() for this, but I actually want to validate the input on WOFF and WOFF2 font files.
Since acceptedFileTypes uses the front-end validator of Filepond, I can't use this, because browsers cannot resolve the correct mimetypes for these files...

So, I need to do some serverside validation. But how?
