Due to the fix of MC-158735, MC-176836 and MC-181925, I would have expected vindicators, pillagers and vexes to not raise their arms at all when attacking a player without weapons. However, they now raise both of their arms, similar to zombies, which looks a bit silly.
To reproduce
Summon a vindicator without a weapon
/summon minecraft:vindicator ~ ~ ~ {HandItems:[{},{}]}
Summon a pillager without a weapon
/summon minecraft:pillager ~ ~ ~ {HandItems:[{},{}],Patrolling:1b}
Switch into Survival mode
→ ❌ The pillager and the vindicator both raise both of their arms

@unknown, unarmed Pillagers perform the pose but are not able to hurt the player.

Vexes should be added to this now due to the fix in MC-181925
Pillagers don't attack players if they do not have a crossbow on 20w29a and above, BOBOIBOY SUPRA.
This was changed on 1.16 on purpose
Pillager are not peaceful anymore i was hoping pillager will be passive mob when you break their crossbow.
