The bug
Relates to MC-147516. Most mobs don't seem to look at their targets when attacking them in close range. The only mob that is almost facing at their targets is the piglin.

The mobs also randomly stop attacking, and provoking melee mobs (except piglins) take a long time to go hostile, melee piglins on the other hand look at their target when attacking at close range, and also have no random pauses and go instantly hostile if provoked.
