Not a bug.

OK... Why?

Because it's not programmed to behave so.
If you want to have Donkey's chests to look like presents -> Feature request.

I recently added Christmas chests for donkeys/mules/horses in my mod: https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/better-christmas-chests
and yes I was surprised when I found out the horse textures also have chests even thought they can't be equipped

"Maybe, WAI"
I don't think we should write these things.
(I have priorities, but just in case.) It may really be "Works As Intended".
@unknown
It is not your decision. It is the developer's decision.
In fact, the priority is given to Low. In other words, the developer has acknowledged it as a bug.
Also, please do not ever impersonate [Mod]! (The real ones are green with white text.)

You're responding to years-old comments
Kumasasa is/was a mod, the priviledges were removed from his account as he's inactive. He's not impersonating.
If you actually look at report history, you'll see this report only got reopened back in january of this year, after being deemed a feature request since 2015.

Why? Why not?

I don't know anything about that. I knew nothing about Minecraft at that time.
I personally resent it when a non-developer, be it a [Mod] or [Helper], casually says "this is a feature request (in the case of this ticket, it was later reopened and prioritized)" or "this is Works As Intended". (This may be selfishness in the public's mind.)
But I missed the history. My fault on this one.
Now the decision is basically the developer's, but it's kind of inexplicable that [Mod] was making the decision.
There seems to be a bit of a panic. I'm going to go cool off.

The helpers and mods are in direct contact with mojang, they also know the difference between a feature request and a bug well, despite phrasing of the report. While this report threads both sides of the spectrum (inconsistent, bug needs new feature altogether to work) it was only prioritized as issue after reconsidering years later.
The userbase does not respond well to people who have a voice to begin with, it's either hate, or love, no inbetweens. I myself was mod years ago, and followed Mojang's statements to the dot, the response of the community was a witchunt, ridiculing me for numerous reasons, and twisting my words into something completely different. People jump to conclusions that the mods actually have the full say, but they don't, they need to have actual proper reasons to resolve reports, or they will be removed from the team.
Any further discussion regarding this should go to the mojira reddit or discord.

Can confirm in 1.21.4.
