Everything gets in boats. and Minecraft physics never makes sense. The size of the mob hasn't mattered before. There are a great many mobs that are too big for boats and some that make it near impossible for the player to get in the boat themselves afterwards. Why should the camel be any different?
Fixing this doesn't make sense, and I'm sure most people never even saw it as a bug.
Mobs such as Ghasts, Ravagers, Elder Guardians, Horse, Slime and Magma Cubes all can ride boats. In fact, other than after this bug was fixed, the camel I don't think there is another mob that can't ride boats. Despite (as just mentioned) there certainly are bigger ones in the game.
Furthermore, lots of players use boats to catch and transport mobs. Whilst yes you can ride camels, not every player may have a saddle yet. Being able to put a camel in a boat allows you to save it for later if you don't have a saddle yet (although due to other bugs they will probably despawn from inside the boat anyway).
I understand the change, but I haven't decided if I'm for or against it. It would be really annoying if you were riding a camel and you happen to ride past a boat or minecart or something and snap it is now in the boat (or minecart). You then have to dismount to break the boat in order to get the camel out. I think camels should be able to get in boat and minecarts if the player isn't riding the camel.
I think this is an odd change that doesn't make sense. Many mobs are able to ride boats/rafts and if Camels can't then this needs to be reviewed across the board. However, transporting/storing mobs via boats is very common by technical MC players. Here is an image that was shared proving this change is not consistent. There are many other mobs that can ride boats/rafts/minecarts and I feel restricting Camels from boats/rafts is an odd choice as they are quite more likely to make sense than a Ghast for example.
