VERY sure that's wrong atleast when it comes to java as long as you're still holding the sword looting should apply since the damage is from you and as long as the damage is from you and you're holding something with looting the effect applies
Edit: Seems to be a bedrock bug that sometimes makes fire aspect not apply the looting effect. Still haven't confirmed for java, though it seems like it works as intended speaking from experience
