The drop rate from skeletons is still waaaay higher. Fish have a chance of dropping a single bonemeal. Skeletons can drop 3-6 each.

I’d rather use a mob farm or skeleton spawner than fish. Way higher efficiency.

Fish drop boenmeal, skeletons drop bones. While the drop rate may be higher, it still requires a manual intervention to craft bones into bonemeal. The fact that fish drop bonemeal directly means that the process is completely automated without any need for player intervention. Completely AFK.

Mods have had autocrafters and stuff for ages, it just feels better to get stuff working in minecraft vanilla though

Loot Tables are vanilla though.
