Hoppers can pickup items and cannot be affected by -1 PickupDelay tag.

When an item's PickupDelay tag is -1, players can never pickup it. But hoppers can always pickup the item and ignore the tag.

 

1. Use /summon minecraft:item ~ ~ ~ {Item: {id: "diamond", count: 1}

   , PickupDelay: -1} to summon a diamond, but you cannot pickup it.

1. Now place a hopper and stand on it.
2. Use the same command again.
3. Check the hopper whether there is a diamond in it.
