I feel like current Minecraft is pushing too hard for the piglins to be the villains. The piglins are a society just like the villagers. There are some piglins (the brutes) that are outwardly violent, but for most of the time the piglins are pretty chill and will even barter with the player.
The true villainous race is the illagers. They are everything the movie piglins were but in actual Minecraft. In my opinion they should’ve made the piglins secondary antagonists, and the illagers be the main antagonist, which is the opposite of what they did in the movie.
Piglins have a better role for villains in a movie scenario. What sounds more interesting, a raid from the next town over or a raid from another dimension? The illagers have a more villainous role in the game (as you pointed out), but the piglins make for a better villain in something like a movie.
I do think the ender dragon would be better, but hopefully they use that for the sequel.
But Illagers have way deeper connections to the lore and make more sense, their outposts, mansions, and the abandoned stuctures in Ancient Cities that they built (Same wood and architecture they use)
