Ever since the 1.14.1 update no mobs carry armor or swords at all. I have a spawner farm and the only thing I’ve gotten from it has been arrows bones and rotten flesh but no armor. The mobs visibly have no armor and I have not seen any mobs outside either that carry armor or weapons.

I weaken them and then hit them with a sword. It was working before 1.14.1 but after the update it stopped working. I see them spawn and I know they’re not wearing armor.
Not sure how much you’ve actually been watching spawns to see if the have armor, but if you are not killing the mobs yourself they will only drop the things you’ve listed. Falling, burning, thrown tridents and trident killers, etc. do not produce player-killed loot.
