Why does pipeline validator not catch pipe names without versions?

Question

In my bitbucket-pipeline.yaml I had a script with references to atlassian/aws-ecs scripts

script:
  - aws configure set aws_access_key_id $AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID 
  - aws configure set aws_secret_access_key $AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY 
  - aws configure set default.region $AWS_DEFAULT_REGION 
   - pipe: atlassian/aws-ecr-push-image:1.1.2

For some reason if, I delete the version of the pipe (`:1.1.2`) I get an error:

"Your pipe name is in an invalid format. Check the name of the pipe and try again."

This is not caught by the Validator for bitbucket-pipelines.yml.

Seems bitbucket-pipelines.yml validator doesn't catch this problem, but it is shown only when trying to run. That's a problem of validator I believe.

Agreed. This threw me off as well.
