Pale Hanging Moss is using an outdated block model on Bedrock Edition. This causes two visual bugs:
Pale Hanging Moss is not stretched to fit the full block
Pale Hanging Moss is not double-sided, creating an "ugly side" when viewed from east and west
Both these issues were already solved in 1.17 with the introduction of the Cave Vines block model. The Cave Vines model is stretched and double-sided, making it look correct from all angles.
Bedrock Pale Hanging Moss vs. Cave Vines
[media]The stretched part of the Pale Hanging Moss is likely intentional. The purpose of the moss, as described in Minecraft Live, was to obscure the player's view. Stretched moss fills the gap between blocks, while the current model leaves large gaps.
The outdated Pale Hanging Moss model also creates a parity issue with Java Edition.
Java Pale Hanging Moss vs. Cave Vines
[media]Expected Result
The Pale Hanging Moss model matches the Cave Vines model.
Observed Result
The Pale Hanging Moss model differs from the Cave Vines model. This also creates a parity issue between Java and Bedrock.

Can confirm. However, do note that cross-shaped models being stretched (including cave vines) are currently considered a bug on Java, see MC-209634
The issue with them not rendering properly when viewed from the east and west is already being tracked at MCPE-40646
This bug was not fixed in 1.21.50.26, pale hanging moss still has an "ugly side" when viewed from east or west.
Pale Hanging Moss is also not stretched in 1.21.50.26. The model has not changed at all. This bug has moved to MCPE-188010 as this one was likely closed internally.
