MC-257700On 22w46a, the change to endermen is actually different from the description
The description of the change:
Blocks carried by Endermen now use loot tables to generate drops when killed.
In fact, some of the blocks do drop items like this. For example, they will drop wheat seeds when players use the command to make endermen take up grass (by using the loot table minecraft:blocks/grass).
But others do not. For example they drop a melon (minecraft:melon) instead of a number of melon slices (minecraft:melon_slice, by using the loot table minecraft:blocks/melon) when the endermen take melons. Also such as leaves, ores, etc. are like this without using their loot tables.
If the normal block loot table drops the result of mining the block, the endermen's drops are more like with Silk Touch. Maybe it's a bug, or maybe it's a descriptive error.

They all use the loot table of their corresponding block as if mined by a silk touch diamond packaxe, which [Mojang] slicedlime mentions explicitly in his update video. (While the video is a personal thing of his, I do think that that constitutes as a WAI source.)
Melon drops because of silk touch, no grass because it isn't shears.
I must say, I honestly expected a new entry in the loot tables for "held by enderman" instead.
I see. Thanks for the comment of @Dhranios, I learned about the update by reading it only on minecraft.net as well as the wiki, so that may make me a bit insular.
