Anvils allow you to enchant anything, but the /enchant command doesn't

      You can't /enchant something that can't normally be enchanted in survival mode, like putting Knockback on an axe, which is kind of silly to not allow being that it is a weapon, but you can use an anvil to put Knockback on anything, including literally a grass block, without even using cheats.

      Steps to reproduce

      1. Get a netherite axe and hold it
      2. run /enchant @s knockback 2

      the command fails

      3. Get a Knockback II enchanted book

      Try to combine the book with the axe.

      Notice The anvil allows it (and that the enchantment functions as it would with any other tool).
