Villager Behaviors in Bedrock Edition

Villagers have very specific behaviors in the Java Edition that they do not have in the Bedrock Edition.  In Java, villagers stay busy at their work stations or very close to them during the day.  They don't stray away and wander all over the place.  In the evening, they stop working and gather in the village center, and they all hop around and bounce up and down like they are having some kind of wonderful party - just happy to be spending time together.  During this time the villagers choose a partner and mate, and offspring are produced, providing that the village conditions are right for it.

In Bedrock my villagers wander all over the place, rarely want to work, and they never gather at the village center, never socialize, and never produce any offspring.  Villagers in Bedrock are very boring and don't have any organized routines that make them seem like civilized people.

An item of functionality that exists in the Java Edition is also missing from Bedrock: in Creative mode when I click the villager spawn egg ON A VILLAGER, the egg produces a child villager.  This function is missing from the Bedrock Edition.

Mojang did some wonderful work on villagers in the Village and Pillage update... in Java.  I'd love to see that wonderful work ported into the Bedrock Edition.  Thank you.

  The villagers are 100% a straight up mess and borderline unplayable if we’re telling the truth. I waited ages to mess with them because I knew this to be true, but there comes a time that you need or want a trading hall and you can’t procrastinate anymore. Setting it up took... forever. And it was the most enraging process I’ve ever engaged in. Which is a shame because the beauty of minecraft is that it’s the most relaxing game. Like even fighting bosses isn’t enough to make someone rage quit, but playing with villagers in any capacity, yeah I’ll rage quit.

  They really do just wander all around, constantly divorcing their beds and workstations. So they never work to refresh their trades and, again, wonder all around at all hours just begging to be murdered by zombies.

  They should be so much fun to play with, building whole towns and things, but they need some serious help.

  I also want to point out the terrible linking mechanics of villagers on bedrock edition, they tend to link to workstations they can't pathfind to and just keeps linking/unlinking to it. Villagers on bedrock edition are fustrating to handle near your base with the workstations as decoration.

  Villagers on java edition are very well behaved and civilized
