[MC-141723] Bad Omen effect eventually goes away on its own

I am unsure if this is a bug or an intended feature, but if I get the Bad Omen effect by killing a pillager captain, if I wait long enough (between 2 and 3 hours), the effect just disappears at some point. I've gone AFK a few times, I've built some houses, I've gone mining... Eventually, the Bad Omen effect is just gone.

This looks like it's intended; this could be interpreted as pillagers forgetting about the player after several days.

You say that, but every time I go AFK in a biome that a village could spawn in (regardless if there is a village or not nearby), if I AFK long enough, I find 5+ patrols all huddled together camping somewhere waiting for me. 😛 But I wouldn't get why this would be a feature, since you can just use milk to get rid of the status effect.
