The bug
If right-clicking a villager with a profession a few times and breaking their workstation block, hand animation plays even if the villager is unemployed, yet they yield no trades. Least likely intentional, however considered a bug due to MC-162036.
How to reproduce
Spawn villager
Place a workstation block and wait for the villager to have a profession
Right-click on the villager with the profession
Break the workstation block and the villager loses their job
→ ❌ The hand animation plays when right-clicking onto an unemployed villager

Basically WAI, as any action / interaction should now cause an arm swing.
