It appeared to me that the wiki says that every peacefull mob can be lead. The bat is a peacefull mob, so why are we unable to lead it up? you can even lead up a squid!
I allways assumed this was possible but I wanted to move my nametagged bat to a new base.
If you think this is intended, please tell me why. Again this is not a feature request. This is a feature that doesn't work correctly

Side note, it would be really cool if we could do that though. You may want to suggest it at Minecraft Suggestions on Reddit.
Keep in mind the wiki is NOT a validation source, and wording such as in this instance can be inaccurate. It's still a good source of information but take details with a grain of salt.
The wiki it also states:
In the code, bats are their own type of mob. This allows them to despawn.
Therefore they are not a "peaceful mob" nor a "hostile mob". They are "bat mobs" or probably more accurate "decorative mobs". Being their own type of mob they may function differently than other mobs.
