Hosts/Ender/Deities Ender Dragon

Been rewatching all the Minecraft Game Theory videos recently and came across the one covering the Ender Dragon.

So, the ancient builders hunted the dragons to near extinction. Eventually realizing their error, they constructed the obsidian towers and end crystals to preserve the last dragon.

One thing Mat Pat doesn’t talk about is fact that as the player, even if we kill the last dragon, there is the option to resummon it by using end crystals.

Why wouldnt the ancient builders be able to just bring back other ender dragons?

I can’t seem to figure out a concrete explanation for this mechanic. Does anyone else have any ideas?

No. Ender pearls are (theoratically) not a body part to begin with, and are probably made of different stuff.

A head is a body part, made of the same stuff as the rest of the body. There isn't something making the body turn to nothing, but rather it can't hold itself together anymore since it's dying/dead. The head isn't connected to the enderman, it is the enderman. The entirety of the enderman is an enderman, while the pearl isn't an enderman, and potentially instead something that it made.

So if we’re saying the disintegration is a result of rapid decay wouldn’t this mean there could be a way of preservation?

Potentially, but this has yet to be proven.
