For some reason, if a mob is holding or wearing an enchanted item, it seems to be guaranteed to drop it.

I cannot reproduce this. Tested with zombified piglins, who have a 100% chance of spawning with a golden sword and a 25% chance of the sword being enchanted. I killed 100 zombified piglins and got 32 swords total, 9 of them enchanted. That is near enough the 25% expected rate of total sword drops (expected based on larger samples tested for MCPE-80504) and the 25% expected rate of dropped swords being enchanted, to be explained by random variation.
Did the mob spawn with the item or pick it up? Items that mobs pick up should always be dropped when the mob is killed. Naturally spawned items have a random chance to drop.
