Mobs can hit the player too high above them, which prevents you from using a mace

When using the Wind Burst mace on the Bedrock Edition, I discovered a flaw in the mechanics that prevented the weapon from being used effectively.
Mobs on Bedrock Edition can hit the player too high, preventing them from striking themselves, which is why it is often impossible to hit the mob with a mace while falling.
For convenience, using footage from the Bedrock Edition, I counted how many times I was hit in flight.
For comparison, I attached a video with similar gameplay on the Java Edition, where mobs also sometimes cause damage when falling, but this does not prevent the player from hitting the mobs.
