Strider mobs do not seek for and path to lava as they do on Java edition.
I am unsure if this is a bug, an unfinished feature or a parity issue.

Yes this is still ongoing. Couldn't reproduce?
On Bedrock edition:
Place a lava pit somewhere where there's no other lava around. spawn a bunch of striders IN it. Watch as the striders wander away.
Or: Place a lava pit somewhere where there's no other lava around. spawn a bunch of striders NEAR it. Watch as the striders wander away, ignoring the lava.

On Java Edition:
Place a lava pit somewhere where there's no other lava around. spawn a bunch of striders IN it. Watch as they wander around in the lava, going straight back in if their meanderings take them out.
Or: Place a lava pit somewhere where there's no other lava around. spawn a bunch of striders NEAR it. Watch as the striders make a bee-line for the lava.
If you mean that striders can wander off of lava sometimes, it is completely expected. They should sometimes just walk off of the lava.
Every time I tested them for this issue, they always spent like 10-20 seconds max outside of lava, but go back to it every time.
Closing for now, if you still think it's an issue, you can write a new one with a video showing what you mean.
Is this an ongoing issue in the latest version (1.17.2)? If so, can you please add it to the affected versions (or mention it if you are not the reporter).
