The zombie nautilus counts as both undead and aquatic, so it takes bonus damage from both Smite and Impaling. The drowned, the other undead water mob, only counts as undead, so Impaling does nothing against it on Java Edition. That felt like a deliberate line before, but the zombie nautilus shows the two categories can overlap now, and it makes the drowned the odd one out. It is also a bit ironic that the one mob that wields and drops tridents is immune to the trident enchantment. Bedrock Edition already gives Impaling bonus damage against drowned, since it applies to anything in water there, so this would bring the editions closer together too.
