All mobs can randomly look at Creative Mode players. Only for a few seconds, and then they look away.
However, Pillagers just keep staring at you and never look away.
How to test this:
Change gamemode to creative.
Spawn a Pillager
The Pillager keeps staring at the player without ever looking away
Compare that to other mobs such as Creeper, Pig or Villager. They only glance for 1-3 seconds and then look away.
See the screenshots: The pillagers aim straight at me while the creepers couldn't care less

See @unknown's comment on MC-137470:
As stated by someone else in the comments above, they are not actually targeting you, they simply are looking at you like most mobs do. Pillagers just like holding their weapons out 🙂
While there is a distinction between the two reports, the underlying issue is the same and there's no need for multiple reports.
Yeah if you're wording it that way. This is not about "mobs occassionally looking at me" this is about "Pillagers staring directly at me never looking away" see the video for easy reproduction
I only made the other reports because I didn't get any response and I thought the mods either don't see comments in closed bugs, or just don't care
My bug got falsely closed, and I never got an answer from the mod so I reposted this.
This bug only affects Pillagers, and it's not a duplicate
