Thrawn in the books (legends AND canon): there is an evil force, a nigh-unstoppable wave of doom coming to destroy or enslave the entire galaxy. I have devoted my career and my life to the prevention of trillions of needless deaths. I have sacrificed everything—including my own happiness and humanity—and sold my soul to the devil in order to attain the position and power necessary to protect those who depend on me.
Thrawn in Ahsoka: screw preventing an extra-galactic threat, I’m leading the zombie hoard to be that threat!

On Wither Roses
I think wither roses function like cordyceps.
For those of you that don't know, cordyceps is this mushroom here:
[Image ID: A clump of bright orange mushrooms being held up, against a foresty background. End ID]
Certain strains of it infect insects' bodies, threading mycelium through their nervous systems, replacing their muscle tissue with its own, flooding their brains with chemicals, and turning them into zombies to more optimally spread. In leafcutter ants, it makes them clamp onto a leaf above their anthill before the fruiting bodies sprout, raining spores down upon their brethren.
Incidentally, this is what the zombie condition in The Last of Us is based on.
Anyways.
[Image ID: A pixelated black rose from Minecraft, planted on magma, with lava in the background. End ID]
We get wither roses from the Wither killing things, and the Wither attacks any mob, hostile or passive, in its line of sight. Then the Wither itself is made of three Wither Skeleton skulls, plus soul sand.
Without cheating to make Potions/Arrows of Decay, there are only four ways to get the Wither effect—a direct attack by the Wither, direct contact with Wither Skeletons, direct contact with a wither rose, or eating a suspicious stew made with a wither rose. Furthermore, wither roses are still dropped when /gamerule doMobLoot is set to false, and fall as items when they have nowhere valid to plant; you can't avoid it happening, no matter what you do to influence the world.
So my theory is this: Wither Skeletons function the way they do, going towards the player rigidly and inflicting the Wither effect, because they're carriers of the wither rose's infestation. They're skeletons of the briar's former victims, repurposed and puppeted to find it better planting grounds somewhere in the Nether.
When you create the Wither, you're weaponizing that infestation. You're taking an infected host, giving the rose the fuel it needs via soul sand to not only survive, but thrive, and with the structure you make, you then give it everything it needs to start replanting itself.
The Wither isn't hostile out of malice. It's hostile out of survival—just not its own.
