@unknown Just tested on Java and it behaves just like I expected it to. The reason why it shouldn't stay on the ground is because the player model disappears, and so should everything attached to it. I'm not saying that it should be dropped, it's just that it should become invisible upon death.
It's not clear to me whether this is intended behavior or not. After all, your armor/elytra does appear in your inventory screen, so maybe it was intended to work this way, or maybe it was intended that you would still be wearing it after spawning and the bug is that it shouldn't have been dropped.
What is your reasoning for expecting the armor to disappear? Is that how it works in Java?
