Trees should check for entities before growing to prevent suffocation

I had a small enclosed forest area where I was occasionally chopping down trees and replanting them. I ended up also keeping some animals in there, and was really sad when I realized one of them had suffocated in a wall, due to a sapling growing into a tree when it was standing there. I understand tree growth is simplified to just suddenly summoning log and leaf blocks in this game, but there really should be something to prevent it from summoning those blocks on top of an entity. It doesn't make much sense for a tree growing to be harmful to mobs, and it really should be fixed so that a sapling waits for a mob to leave before growing. Similar logic should probably apply to anything else that summons blocks, such as nether portals, unless it's something that's specifically supposed to be dangerous.

  I disagree it's fine as it is.
  but maybe it should prioritize pushing the entity out of the way especially if it's a pet like dog or something
