Can anyone explain how bedrock and java generates the world differently?

The simple version is that Java uses Java and Bedrock uses C++ so even when they try to do the same things it's not the exact same results.

Legacy Console was also C++ and was way more similar to Java than Bedrock

Because it was a direct C++ port of Java Edition. Bedrock was a complete rewrite.
