The bug
Endermen no longer take any damage when a splash water bottle is thrown at them.
Code analysis
For 1.15-pre2
Splash water bottles deal IndirectEntityDamageSource (Mojang name), however when endermen are damaged by this damage source they simply try to teleport and don't take any damage.

Have they ever damaged snow golems though?
Duplicates MC-106812.
Snow golems is MC-106968.
Reopened, as MC-106812 is only about potions that behave like water bottles. It even states that (lingering) water bottles are fixed.
This issue also happens in 1.14.4. I've attached a video demonstrating the issue.
Not just water bottles, but all damage-dealing projectiles. Arrows, snowballs, splash potions of harming, all of them. The only ones I could get to work are buff and debuff potions, including poison in 20w11a
In 20w12a
it's probably you missed hitting the enderman
still in 1.16 pre 1
Affects 20w27a
Can confirm in 20w51a.
Can confirm in 21w03a.
Can confirm in 21w13a.
Can confirm in 21w14a.
Can confirm in 1.17.
Can confirm in 1.17.1.
