Why do villagers turn into nitwits?

In Minecraft, "nitwits" are villagers with green robes who can't get jobs, often appearing naturally from breeding (especially in Bedrock) or spawning as babies that can't find work, essentially filling a decorative/breeding role without taking workstations. They become nitwits because they lack unclaimed job blocks or are naturally assigned that role (Bedrock). You can turn them into productive villagers by curing them as zombie villagers or, in some cases, by manipulating their environment, but they remain a unique, non-working type.
