According to Minecraft 1.21 release notes(https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/article/minecraft-java-edition-1-21 ):
— Ominous Bottles can be found uncommonly in any Vaults, and are dropped by Raid Captains which are defeated outside a Raid
However, raid captains other than pillagers doesn't drop Ominous Bottles when defeated. This is not the same as stated in the release notes.
To reproduce: capture raid captains from pillager outpost/raid, moving them outside the raid(by minecart, boat, /tp command, etc.), then kill them. Only pillager captains drop Ominous Bottles.

It's not duplicate of MC-270014 because that issue is tested with Evoker captains. They aren't able to be spawned in pillager outpost and raid. Using /summon command might not summon vaild raid captains.
This issue uses pillagers and vindicators from pillager outpost and raids. This is exactly the same as the release note says: Raid Captains which are defeated outside a Raid
It seems like a duplicate to me...
Your issue describes how vindicator captains do not drop ominous bottles, which is what the issue I linked describes. Please correct me if I am wrong. 🙂
I fail to see how this is different from what MC-270014 describes. You mention in your steps to reproduce:
capture raid captains from pillager outpost/raid, moving them outside the raid(by minecart, boat, /tp command, etc.), then kill them. Only pillager captains drop Ominous Bottles.
Except for the fact that raid captains apart from pillagers aren't supposed to drop ominous bottles (per MC-270014).
In your comment you mention:
This issue uses pillagers and vindicators from pillager outpost and raids.
MC-270014 also describes vindicators (which cannot spawn in pillager outposts).
If you have experienced a bug that only covers pillagers, feel free to create a new report for that.
The release notes clearly says "Ominous Bottles are dropped by Raid Captains which are defeated outside a Raid". I don't understand why captains other than pillagers should be excluded and not drop ominous bottles.
Mojang themselves resolved MC-270014 as Works as Intended. They are not obligated to provide a reason for their decision.
Also, please do not comment on issues resolved as such.
Duplicate of MC-270014.
