Sometimes when I go mining I found creeper explosion holes when I go back to land, so I did a little experiment on creative mode, and I discovered that creepers are exploding when pillagers shoot them accidentally

Yeah I know zombies can attack skeletons if they shoot accidentally, but that's not the case for creepers, you can go on creative mode and check this by yourself, the creeper will not explode unless you approach him. Otherwise, when pillagers shoot creepers, they will explode no matter how far you can be.
This is simply not true. Creepers will try to explode skeletons if the skeleton shoots them and there are no nearby players in survival mode. The same should apply to pillagers. Working As Intended.
Well try that on creative mode and put your gamemode equals survival and you will see the difference.
Even if it gets shot by a skeleton, pillager, ravager's roar and blaze, it would first go for them, BUT if a player is nearby a mob that the creeper is going for, would then go towards you.
And as Tim said above that if there are no nearby players, it will attack the mob he got hit from.

Intended.
Other range mobs like skeletons can accidently shoot other mobs such as zombies, which will go after the player first, but eventually towards the skeleton if got hit.
This has happened since all the way back in 1.0!
