The Armor Stand part is a bug for all game modes.

Armor stands ended up getting their own ticket.
Please do not mark unreleased versions as affected.
You don't have access to them yet.
Confirmed for 1.12-pre5
This also was an issue in legacy console edition when pick block got added, but for legacy console edition this issue got fixed.
Confirmed in 1.16.1.

Can confirm this behavior in 21w40a. Here are some extra details regarding this problem.
The Bug:
The pick block function doesn't work with entities whilst in survival or adventure mode.
Steps to Reproduce:
Observed Behavior:
The pick block function doesn't work with entities whilst in survival or adventure mode.
Expected Behavior:
The pick block function would work with entities whilst in survival or adventure mode.
it doesn't work due to a redundant check in the net.minecraft.client.MinecraftClient class, method doItemPick()
For blocks it checks if (type = HitResult.Type.BLOCK)
For entities it checks if (type = HitResult.Type.ENTITY || !bl)
where bl is only true when the player is in creative mode.
bl is still used later in the code to see if the player can pull items out of creative inventory, but please, remove it from the entity check, im begging
Can confirm in 24w33a.
This issue was fixed in Minecraft snapshot 24w44a due to a refactor involving the pick item functionality.
