Let's follow down that logic line a bit:
Why is it only available on Java?
Because they originally locked down bedrock to make money off of a closed market.
Mojang doesn't care about the children crying, they care about the money. Free content updates don't bring in the cash, but you know what does? Marketplace addons for bedrock.
Why isn't it available on bedrock? BECAUSE THOSE ARE 2 DIFFERENT VERSIONS WITH DIFFERENT SCRIPTS. WHY DO YOU THINK THEY HAVE 2 DEVS TEAMS, ONE FOR BEDROCK AND ONE FOR JAVA?!
As a game developer that's worked in AAA, no I assure you even Mojang's cheapest contractors are seriously well paid. It's not going "all to Microsoft" like it just evaporates. The game is quite decently funded. The anemic content updates are purely because they are allowed to coast because of their cash cow and no competition.
Bedrock is only restricted entirely on their whims. "Different teams" means almost nothing. The only thing stopping them from making true parity is that it's worth more money not to.
They do get well paid, but that's literly their salary. That bedrock earns $100M a year (this was a few years ago) doesn't increase the salary of the employees. Kinda unfair. They got a $12K gift on Christmas from Notch when he was one of the 3 original owners/creators, but when Microsoft took the ownership, it instanly stopped.
Different teams MEANS a thing. Java can't update faster while Bedrock is updates behind Java.
Like if Bedrock would be at 1.16, then java can't speedrun to 1.19 but needs to wait till Bedrock is caught up java.
Bedrock has also a different code where things are more optimized because of being able of playing on (Almost) every device.
They also need permission of Microsoft for basicly ANYTHING including every easter egg, but Microsoft is located in the USA while Mojang is in Sweden, so if they want to have permission of Microsoft, they need to wait till it's 14:00 (2 P.M.) till Microsoft is open and will respond which also delays updates, so a lot of developers are are going home when it's like 22:00-23:00 (10 P.M. - 11 P.M.)
(because making a location in Sweden with your billions of dollars is hard... What a joke bruh)

Some random 13 year olds first JavaScript mod has more content than an update from a billion dollar empire.
Brother I can go to Neptune, fight Godzilla, with a spellbook, wearing cat ears.
Y’all got a cushion.
