The minecraft:generic.attack_speed attribute is called generic, despite only working for players

The attack_speed attribute is called generic, despite only working for player entities. This is inconsistent with other attributes such as player.block_break_speed and player.sneaking_speed.

Expected result

The attribute would be called player.attack_speed, because it only works on players.

Observed result

The attribute is called generic.attack_speed, but it can't be applied to other entities.
