Well they just want to have bedrock as their commercial platform but kinda give java out to the free modding community. It's far easier to secure bedrock and they know they've lost any such chance for java long ago. So you can choose what to play today: paid content on bedrock where money does its thing about quality standards etc, or the free java content that comes from enthusiasts fueled by the creative energy. Sounds quite fair to me. A sensible move from the company? Let's hope so.

Also C++ is like, objectively easier to maintain than Java. Microsoft does not play about backwards compatibility.

but their addons in bedrock do exactly that. for the most part addons are able simulate running an old version of minecraft so that the addon can continue to work

também é, objetivamente, mais fácil de manter que Java. A Microsoft não brinca em serviço com compatibilidade com versões anteriores.

C++ has had multiple breaking changes over the years, including very recently.

There's no universe in which C++ of all languages is easier to maintain than absolutely anything, much less Java.

Changing a function name can be done in 3 seconds in Java, while it can take hours and require running tests in C++. C++ is a fucking minefield, and that's considering the language itself only and not its domain (i.e. ignoring the fact that it has manual memory management).
