Witches do not count as illagers. They cannot be patrol/raid captains unlike other illagers, they are attacked by "Johnny" vindicators unlike other illagers, and they can be damaged by evoker fangs unlike all other illagers.
This may be intentional, but I think it is an oversight. It seems like it would make sense for witches to be included as actual illagers, rather than just spawn alongside them in raids.

I don't know if anyone will see this, but why is that? What was the reasoning behind not making them illagers? Just wondering.
I just did a raid and in the third wave (normal mode) there were normal illagers with crossbows, as well as witches.
Personally I would love to see a witch as the leader of a patrol or raid.
