Could someone explain why the creepers are pathfinding differently to the zombies in this setup?

Creepers weren't pathfinding how I expected based on my understanding from RedLogic's video about mob pathfinding (https://youtu.be/Zg0Cxn8AVZA) and the wiki page about pathfinding penalties (https://minecraft.wiki/w/Mob\_AI#Pathfinding). I don't see any 'Mob pathfinding penalty overrides' which would explain the difference in behavior.

In the setup shown in the picture and video, the zombies and pillagers always take the blue path. And the creepers and wither skeletons randomly take the red or green paths. All 4 always ignore the orange path.
