Had this bug on pre-release 5 and 6, to replicate, throw a gold ingot at a piglin and they won't pick it up. Also tried throwing gold at them from a dropper, but they don't pick that up either. I can only barter with them by right clicking on them.

If you go to the gamerules tab in the world creation the mobGriefing shows "Allow DESTRUCTIVE mob actions", and I don't think that pick up gold is a destructive action
@unknown The default is false. If I throw a gold ingot to a piglin with the default value, they will pick up the gold ingot
What is
/gamerule mobGriefing
set to?
