I made it more specific to disabled slots, to prevent confusion as to "you can place it in the hands". I will try to reword the report a bit to include this.
I'd like this to be reviewed. This is only the case with armor stands, not with any other mob (aside from tamed pets) the item is unusable on. This can be very troublesome for map makers, as they may use armor stands to create "custom entities" because they can hold items and move each body part separately; the inability to use items while looking at them (such as fishing rods), breaks immersion pretty much for those maps.
I see now that this actually is a duplicate of MC-169014, but since this was a Mojang-WAI, it may be better to forward resolve that one.
It is also worth mentioning that this exact issue was deemed a bug and fixed in the past: MC-112995
I am able to confirm this behavior. This ticket relates to MC-220469.
