This is a parity issue
Right now, enchanted golden apples in Bedrock are MUCH better than on Java. This is because the give a much higher level and duration of regeneration there. I don’t know which version is the intended one though.
Java: regeneration level II for 20 sec (Heals 16 hp)
Bedrock: regeneration level V for 30 sec. (Heals 100! hp)

This was reported on bedrock MCPE-103061, but for some reason mojang seems to consider that valid.
