Armorstands are the only entity that have an hardcoded invulnerability with the Invisible NBT tag and cannot be broken, even in creative, despite similar entities not behaving the same with the Invisible NBT tag, like item frames, who can be broken, even in creative.
How to reproduce:
Summon an invisible armorstand using
/summon armor_stand ~ ~ ~ {Invisible:1b}
Try to break it in survival or creative
Expected behavior:
The Invisible armorstand should still be able to be broken in survival and creative unless it had the Invulnerable NBT tag too, in which case it should be able to be broken only in creative

Duplicates MC-66068.
I did realize that similar issues where reported when the armorstands were implemented but I do not consider this a duplicate considering the fact that a lot has changed with entities and their NBT, Datapacks, etc. This has now become an inconsistency, once again, if you compare it to the item frame who was added the NBT Invisible in 1.16 that does not make it Invulnerable. If inconsistencies get flagged as feature requests or duplicates because of outdated bug reports, stuff that was overlooked by new mechanics will never get optimized.
Thank you for your report. I've flagged MC-66068 to be reviewed by Mojang.
