Drowned are unable to get themselves out of the water to attack at night due to their swimming animation

How to reproduce

  1. Spawn a pool filled with drowned, during the daytime

  2. Set the time to night

  3. Go into gamemode survival
    → See the drowned are trying to get out of the water pool, but aren't really able to

Drowned are supposed to swim up to land to hunt you at night.

Can confirm for 1.13pre6.

Was standing on a small island during nighttime in an ocean biome surrounded by drowneds and they didn't left the water.

I don't think it would be because of the swimming animation

This bug is NOT fixed, no matter what @unknown says. Drowned still have difficulty getting out of bodies of water.

Did some further testing and confirmed not fixed for 1.13-pre10. It seems as though drowned can get out of 1-block-deep water with ease, but they cannot get out of bodies of water deeper than that.

Attached the structure file used to reproduce. Put it in your <worldsave> folder (you may need to unzip the folder first, but do not change the file directory), load your world (it should update automatically if you are already in), place a structure block with

/setblock ~ ~ ~ structure_block{mode:"LOAD",name:"minecraft:mc-132739",showboundingbox:1}

Give it some redstone power, and structure loaded!

The title is a bit inaccurate, as it is possible for them to get out. But it's just really really difficult and slow.

I've noticed they're more motivated if there's players or villagers at land.

Can't duplicate in 20w09a. They'll walk up blocks to reach the shore, though they are indeed very slow. If there are no blocks to walk up they won't swim upwards however, though that may be intended behavior. I think they're just supposed to walk to land if they can, not swim to it, otherwise Drowned would be everywhere. They're meant to be mostly a water mob.

Is this still an issue in the current release?

Still an issue in 1.19.

It seems Drowned are unable to go onto land if the water is deeper than one block. This is likely because they cannot jump like other mobs can, instead they simply walk up blocks like Iron Golems and Horses do.
