Very small entities doesn't render at a distance

Scaling down an entity causes it to stop rendering when moving just a few blocks away. This is affected by the Entity Distance setting, and the actual size of the entity. For example, a scaled down baby turtle stops rendering from a smaller distance away than a scaled down zombie.

How to reproduce:

This example uses a baby turtle, since it's easier to notice the issue this way.

1. Summon a baby turtle by executing the following command:

   /summon minecraft:turtle ~ ~ ~ {Age:-32767,ForcedAge:-32767}

2. Execute the following command:

   /attribute @n[type=minecraft:turtle] minecraft:scale base set 0.0625

3. Press F3+B to enable hitboxes so that you can notice the turtle more easily.
4. On default Entity Distance (100%), move 1.5 to 2 blocks away from the turtle.
   → The turtle stops rendering.
5. On maximum Entity Distance (500%), move around 10 blocks away from the turtle.
   → The turtle stops rendering.

Expected result:

A very small entity would disappear at the same distance as other entities (based on the Entity Distance setting).

Observed result:

A very small entity disappears from sight when only moving a few blocks away.
