Armor stands with armor enchanted with Thorns are not affected by arrows

The bug

Again, you can't get damaged by shooting an armor stand with a full suit of armor enchanted with thorns.

How to reproduce

  1. Enchant a full suit of any armor with thorns

  2. Put it on an armor stand

  3. Get a bow, crossbow and arrows and go to survival

  4. Shoot it

Observed results:

You don't get damaged by the thorns, since projectiles get also affected by thorns.

Expected results:
You should get damaged, just like a skeleton shooting you with a full suit of netherite armor with thorns.

Note: Thorns (or in general: enchantment effects that take effect after attacks) never take effect on killing blows, since the gear is no longer equipped on a dead entity. Arrows one-shot armor stands.
