Defenders working as intended?

I’ve noticed some stuff the past few days, defenders evading dash in attacks that don’t have evade built in. When I’m fight spider-verse champs, ultrons, domino etc, I know when I shallow evade and dash in, there is always a chance that their evade may proc, and I can be punished, I accept that. And when they do, a evade in green pops up on the right side of the screen. I dash in they dash back.....cool.
What I don’t understand is why champs that have no evade mechanic are doing the exact same stuff. I went in and purposely tried triggering it to happen on Agent venom in t4 basic catalyst daily, and as you can see in video, he dashed back multiple times during my dash attacks. I dragged the video out, got beat up, healed back up to showcase him doing it.
Working as intended. Thoughts?

AV has reduced debuff time, so if you parry him he comes out of it very fast.
I wouldn't even call it an "evade" it seems the AI has added "swipe back" into its repertoire in general in more than one circumstance. In fact, one tactic I've seen the AI recently start taking a liking to is a tactic I've been using for years: they attack with a five attack combo and then immediately step backwards and block. I'm guessing a developer probably stole some frequently used sequences from humans and added it to the things the AI does tactically.
Well it’s more of a shallow evade and counter, at least from my experience. The AI doesn’t only “swipe back” and remain passive. It always seems to shallow evade and proceed to counter. I mean that’s fine. AI tends to evolve and adapt and I will adapt to it, too, but they’ve become “very good” at it.
In my experience it seems to have learned to step backwards in general and is doing it followed by more than one other option in my experience. Sometimes I've seen it "shallow evade" and just stand there to avoid getting hit. Sometimes I've seen it end a combo with a dash back followed by an immediate block to basically counter-parry. And sometimes I've seen it dash back followed by a medium attack to essentially intercept. It is like it has learned a new "word" to insert into its AI "sentences."

Yes and yes. I noticed it a lot in Uncollected EQ this month. I got intercepted by stun-immune Sentinel a couple times and it was aggressively annoying.
That shallow evade has been more frequent now in hard content
It states that they "excell at dasing" or something like that
I don't think the AI adapts to individual players. You think the AI learns to fight differently for every individual player in the game?
That’s skynet judgement day talk there.
That’s what’s essentially happened, all champions have dexterity for melee attacks and I think it happened around the time of Domino. For example you’re now able to fight a Dormammu without dex and never take a hit dashing back.
