So I was messing around with the new snapshot and I was giving a piglin some gold blocks and well, he just hold it, looked at it for a couple seconds, and just stole it. I gave more to him and he took it. Then I gave him a gold ingot and he gave me loot. It did the normal animation when he barters with you, but he doesn't drop loot.

This is likely intended. According to the 20w07a snapshot article:
Gold ingots are currency to Piglins and you can throw ingots at them or right-click them with an
ingot to barter for various goods
This is a duplicate of MC-172118.
MC-172118 is resolved as working as intended, although they might revisit this later. For the time being this is intended though.
Can confirm, also applies to anything except for golden ingots (i.e. they won't trade you if you give them bell or other items that they accept)
