It seems as if the drowned pathfinding is a little off. I have a box of turtle eggs in the deep ocean biome, where they are visible to drowned, yet the drowned just seem to bounce around near the box, and sometimes even just run away from it
Also, I noticed that the despawn rate of drowned and other aquatic entities seems to rise as I gain Y-level altitude.

Sort of. It seems as if the drowned SOMETIMES find the egg, but sometimes they do not.
Also, drowned seem to spawn in the ocean and then immediately despawn, as well as having extremely slow horizontal movement speed but very bouncy vertical movement
I'd say the core issue here is MC-183656.
Does MC-183656 describe your issue?
