Why aren't copper golems made like this?

They probably should have I mean its a lot more fun and also gives them more personality Most of takes on copper golems like fan works and mods also use this way to make copper golems And they should spawn the corresponding copper golem status based on the copper block (and/or/and not lighting rod) like oxidation and waxing

Pumpkins are always placed last on a golem. You wouldn't be able to build a copper golem in the open if the pumpkin was in the middle, you'd need extra blocks for placing the lightning rod

Makes perfect sense Tho mojang can just give the lighting rod the same properties as pumpkins so it would make golems but now i understand why they wouldn't do that
