Skeletons do not rotate when shooting but only when moving

The Bug:

Skeletons do not rotate when they shoot an arrow but instead appear to only rotate when moving. This makes skeletons with a high slowness effect or with an generic.movementSpeed attribute value of 0 not rotate when they shoot an arrow.

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Summon a skeleton with a generic.movement_speed attribute value of 0.
    /summon skeleton ~ ~ ~ {HandItems:[{id:"minecraft:bow",Count:1b},{}],Invulnerable:1b,Attributes:[{Name:generic.movement_speed,Base:0}]}
    
  2. Switch to survival mode and circle around the skeleton.

Expected & Observed Behavior:

→ While the skeleton is stuck, it will still fire at the player despite not looking at them.
→ The skeleton would properly face the player while they shoot at them.
