The bug
Hand animation is playing when you're aiming at a block through the mob and use the spawn egg.
Even if the mob that haven't a baby or spawn egg type does not match the mob type.

Agree.
Relates to MC-172123. 20w07a added the feature of right-clicking any mob of the same type by using a spawn egg, some don't spawn with weapons.
For ridable mobs, when not aiming at a block, you start riding the entity AND a baby entity is spawned as well. That might be a different issue though?
Edit: Decided to create a new ticket: MC-172610
Confirmed for 20w19a

From what I can tell, it plays when you're aiming at a block "through" the mob. If you look upward toward the sky, still looking at the mob's hitbox, no animation plays
