The bug
Striders don't avoid walking into water despite it hurting them. They also don't attempt to leave water while taking damage in it.

maybe the striders know they will never get that fungus?
MAybe the bees know that you will forever keep stealing their honey.
Maybe the phantoms realize you will soon craft a shield and they can't do squat against you.

I can reproduce the strider not pathfinding out of water in 1.21, but I cannot reproduce it not avoiding water. When trying to entice it's AI by placing lava nearby, the strider does not walk towards it when it's path is occluded by water.
Do you have a reliable setup to reproduce the strider not avoiding water?
