This affects skeletons, strays, wither skeletons, bogged creatures, and illusioners. The commands I used to reproduce this issue are:

/summon minecraft:skeleton ~ ~ ~ {HandItems:[{components:{"minecraft:enchantments":{levels:{"minecraft:multishot":1,"minecraft:punch":2,"minecraft:piercing":4}}},count:1,id:"minecraft:bow"}]}
/summon minecraft:wither_skeleton ~ ~ ~ {HandItems:[{components:{"minecraft:enchantments":{levels:{"minecraft:multishot":1,"minecraft:punch":2,"minecraft:piercing":4}}},count:1,id:"minecraft:bow"}]}
/summon minecraft:stray ~ ~ ~ {HandItems:[{components:{"minecraft:enchantments":{levels:{"minecraft:multishot":1,"minecraft:punch":2,"minecraft:piercing":4}}},count:1,id:"minecraft:bow"}]}
/summon minecraft:illusioner ~ ~ ~ {HandItems:[{components:{"minecraft:enchantments":{levels:{"minecraft:multishot":1,"minecraft:punch":2,"minecraft:piercing":4}}},count:1,id:"minecraft:bow"}]}
/summon minecraft:bogged ~ ~ ~ {HandItems:[{components:{"minecraft:enchantments":{levels:{"minecraft:multishot":1,"minecraft:punch":2,"minecraft:piercing":4}}},count:1,id:"minecraft:bow"}]}

All bow enchantments, such as punch, power, and flame, function just fine for skeletons. Conversely, bow enchantments function for crossbows when utilized by pillagers or piglins.
